Sibling Love

I love watching Asher and Kiera fall in love with each other.  I wish they could always get along this well. 

Kieras fascinated by her big brother.  Here's a photo of one of the first times Kiera moved her hand with purpose.  It was to touch Asher's hair. 

She loves watching him.  Here Asher is making her smile in a restaurant.

This summer, Asher planted some seeds that turned into flowers.  These are the late seeds that we planted.  He gave the very first flower that appeared to Kiera (it is on the arm of the chair).  We didn't even suggest that he give it to her.

He loves to pick out her clothes, particularly when he gets something that matches what he is wearing.  Nana bought them matching shirts with their photos on it.

His big brother shirt is one of his favorite shirts and he likes it when she wears one of her little sister shirts.  I also like this photo because they both look so suspicious of me.  

Asher looks out for his sister.  In this video Asher is explaining how he warned his little sister that it was going to be bright (because I was taking a photo with flash).  

Asher also sometimes just runs up to her to tell her that she is beautiful or pretty.  He has never had any interest in other babies, but he likes her a lot.  Here he is singing a song to her.  He started singing it out of no where and made it up himself (although I sing similar songs to both of them I've never suggested that he sing with me.) 

Of course, he only just turned 3, and he has a lot of energy to burn, so frequently in his enthusiasm he forgets to be gentle with her.  It's hard to convince him sometimes since she grins at him even when he is jumping up and down and screaming.  Here's another photo where you can see his excess energy in an extra tight squeeze.
