big brother, little sister


I cannot even begin to tell you
how much these two bless me,
how much they make me smile
how much they warm my soul
and how much they make my heart swell with pride.


I knew I would love seeing my babies together.
Even before the beautiful girl was born
I was dreaming about the day I would see my beautiful boy
with his baby brother or sister.


But absolutely nothing on earth could have prepared me
for the joy I get now
at seeing these two each and every day
as they become more and more in love with one another,
as their relationship develops
and their friendship grows.


They have something indescribable.
A bond that is almost tangible.
They are drawn to one another,
they are fascinated by one another. 
They light up for one another
in a way that is completely unique.


There is something that happens before my very eyes
which I know I will never ever completely be a part of.
Their little gang is their own
and not mine.
But my goodness,
is it a beautiful thing to witness.

  1. Oh these photos are simply adorable!
    A lot of people talk about how sisters have a special bond and I think it's lovely that you show that boy/girl siblings are just as close and can have an equally special bond (I'm trying to show that brothers have that special bond too!)

    Beautiful post. What a proud mummy you must be xx

    1. I think all siblings have a special bond, whatever their gender. Everybody raves about sisters but I would change my brother for anything, and I love that my two get to have that. x

    1. Ahh, hello and welcome. And thank-you, I happen to think they are pretty cute kids too, but then I might be a teeny bit biased.
      I definitely think the brother sister bond is special. I have a great one with my brother. And I'm loving watching it grow between my own two children. x

    1. Haha, she really is catching up with him. She's only a little bit smaller than he was at a year old. Their bond is amazing to watch, and your boys will be the same, it's amazing. x
