Brothers

One random day we got silly.and sweet..

because that's what we do. love love love.

asher is an extremely proud big brother

so excited to be so close, but he was scared he was going to squish him

he watches his brother's every move and is extremely attentive and sensitive to his needs

he loves to kiss him on his forehead or head

pat him on the head or stroke his cheek gently 

and love on him, just the right amount

and by the looks of things, mayer is a-ok with it all

you can tell he already looks up to asher

and asher adores the attention and affection from his brother...

but even more so from the camera...

could he not be any more silly?

asher is very proud of his little brother.

he introduces him to everyone, tells anyone that will listen that his baby brother came out of his mommys tummy. everyone must know this upon greeting asher....

common things that he also blurts out (just like i used to do)

"do you have a question for me?"

"im getting bigger"

"my birthday is coming up in june"

for the record asher says these three things consecutively, back to back upon greeting most strangers... and he says them really fast. so unless you know he is saying them you are sitting there thinking uhhh, what? its humorous. he goes through this list with us (philip, bella, mayer and myself) almost nightly before bed and just recently added "i love you" before the three lines. kids are so funny.

asher also introduced his "baby, aka. lovey" to mayer. mayer has his very own baby (same color, just a bear head vs the hippo head). asher makes sure that mayer is holding or snuggled up to his little "baby" at all times. he will trek the entire house looking for mayer's "baby" to make sure he has it. 

mayer at 2 weeks old

check out the dimples in his cheeks!

his nose definitely is from his grandma sara (softa), eye shape is possibly his daddy as well as his clef chin....maybe blue eyes like momma??? and the lips are still to be determined. mayer is definitely a great mix or our family and we love that he is so different than asher!

this isnt the best photo but the boys facial expressions were priceless...

i cant even imagine what either of them are thinking...

love my two boys!!
