Jaxton loves babies! He has enjoyed watching Kaylee grow and learn new things. He is super gentle and soft and cuddly with his new brother. He is proud to have a new baby brother and was telling his friends at school about Baby Dawson. He is also very able to help take care of him and calm him down if he's crying. When he wakes up in the morning, the first thing he wants to do is usually spend some time with Dawson who is always awake and happy about the time the kids wake up. Sometimes he will even forget his morning chores because he is talking and playing with his new brother. :-)
Dawson is Cooper's MiniMe. Their baby pictures are identical. By looking at the newborn pictures of both of them it is very difficult to figure out which is which. These two looked subtly different at birth than Jaxton and Kaylee. I imagine that Dawson will look a ton like Cooper as he grows older with blond hair like his brother, but probably blue eyes like his sister. Cooper was a little bit indifferent about his new brother at first. He didn't seem to notice him very much and his little world didn't seem to change much. He definitely likes to hold his brother and he is very very good at putting in his pacifier. It bothers him when Dawson cries a lot. It's sweet because Cooper feels sentimental towards him and genuinely is concerned when Dawson can't be calmed down. Dawson is very lucky to have such wonderful big brothers as his example throughout his life.
Kaylee is absolutely thrilled to have a real live baby in the house! She is not one bit jealous of this new bundle of a baby. Rather, she is just excited to help take care of him. She loves to "Change You Dawson" and she loves trying to put his pacifier in upside down. She always wants to hold him and touch him and smother him with love. Sometimes I will lay Dawson down on her bed while I'm getting her ready for bed and she will want to lie down right next to him and snuggle him to pieces. He is her live doll! When he gets his diaper changed, she wants to get her diaper changed right next to him on the floor. So I often do double diaper duty, two at a time. One time we were at the YMCA and Kaylee was in Childwatch. I had Dawson with me, but I always keep an extra pacifier in the diaper bag. The workers at Childwatch couldn't get Kaylee to be happy, so they found an orange basketball pacifier in the diaper bag and gave it to her. The funny thing is, she took it! So when we came to pick up the kids from Childwatch we find Kaylee with Dawson's orange pacifier in her mouth. LOL. It was just way too funny. She hasn't had her pacifier since she was just barely 1 years old, at least 8 months ago. She knew Dawson takes it when he is sad. So since she was feeling sad, she willingly took it! Too funny! Dawson is also very lucky to have such a loving big sister who will always take care of him!
