bowen meets baby

bowen loves having a baby brother! he came to the hospital with dad several times to shower him with kisses. and now that we're home it hasn't stopped. he's only added a protective 'big brother' attitude to the mix.

{first time at the hospital}


{james took bowen to the store to pick out a "big brother" present! he picked lightening mcqueen! and wanted to come right back to the hospital to show his baby brother}

{i think they bonded over that car!}

bowen has been an excellent helper from the very beginning. he loves when it's diaper changing time and he's ready with all the supplies in a little basket that he carries from room to room for me. his first time helping he even held up one of the legs.


{he was so excited to bring him home from the hospital. i think we had him strapped in the carseat an hour early cause bowen couldn't handle the anticipation.}


{and once we were home, all he wanted to do was snuggle with him}

we took our first little outing and bowen offered to share his stroller. isn't that sweet?! little does he know, his stroller is now his two working legs! but we let him ride this time. since our outing was a walk around the driveway!

every night bowen wants us to bring emmett to his room so they can snuggle. he tries to pretend he is sleeping so that we'll let emmett sleep in his bed with him. (no worries...his acting skills haven't convinced us yet.)

i am absolutely LOVING life with two boys!

I love that Bowen acts like he is asleep so Emmett can sleep with him. How cute. They will be such great buddies.

I love these pictures. Hopefully being a big brother won't get old too fast and the bliss will continue in the Pratt home! My arms are aching to hold those sweet little boys of ours! That day is coming soon! Love and miss you.
