You never ever really know how the older sibling is going to take having their "only-child-throne" usurped by a new little imp. I am happy to report that Annaleigh has fallen in love with John David just as deeply as Mike and I have. She spends about 25% of her day hugging, holding, kisses, stroking, cuddling, and just-plain-loving-all-over her little brother. Which thrills my heart!
However, she doesn't necessarily enjoy the situation that has been created as a result of the arrival of her new love-bug. She has been having some difficulty sharing her Mommy and Daddy. I am sure it's all part of the transition and soon the tantrums, whining, clingy-ness, crying, and the all-out-beat-'em-up-rolling-around-brawling-fits will end soon.
At least...I hope so...
Until then, I will take in these sweet moments
when her love abundantly pours out on him...
those are the most precious pictures!
