A New Position

Hermione has recently figured out how much fun it is to sit up. She isn't old enough to sit up unassisted, but she loves to be propped into the corner of chairs and couches!



She looks kind of alarmed here, but I think she looks funny with her arm propped on the arm rest!


I'll admit, she didn't have the best smile here, but check out those leggings! I'm so glad I am a boy so I never had to wear those! They are sooooo impractical!

All Wrapped Up

To get babies to calm down, parents swaddle their babies. I loved to be swaddled. So does Hermione. This style of swaddling is usually called a "burrito style" but Mommy and Daddy call it Chalupa-style!


A Brother's Love

One of Mommy's friends gave an awesome gift to Hermione for Christmas. It was a poem that she wrote. It is supposed to be a poem from me to my little sister. Here is the poem:

A Brother's Love

My sweet little sister,
There are things that you must know.
We'll have moments just between us,
As you live and learn and grow.

Mom and Dad will tell you,
About your brother's love,
As I protect and watch you,
High from up above.

But we will share some moments,
That they may not see,
Special loving moments,
Just meant for you and me.

When you lay and giggle,
For reasons no one knows,
That's because I am tickling,
All your precious toes.

When you sit and smile,
In peculiar places,
That's because I am teasing you,
With all my silly faces.

And when you get the butterflies,
On stage in the 1st grade,
I will be the voice inside,
Saying, "Do not be afraid."

When you're sad and crying,
I will wipe away your tears,
I will cheer you in your triumphs,
Support you through your fears.

I'll bring the breeze when you are hot,
The sun when you are cold,
I'll raise you up when you are low,
Both when you're young and old.

I'll be your light when it is dark,
Your strength when you feel weak,
We'll be the best of friends,
Although we'll never speak.

This special bond between us,
Is strong and pure and true,
Its a bond that can't be broken,
I'll always be with you.
