Big Brother Lucas

Lucas met his baby sister for the first time when she was about 12 hours old. It was one of my proudest moments as his mother. When he walked into the hospital room he had such a proud look on his face. His eyes were twinkling and his smile was so big. I made sure that I wasn't holding Ellen, so he ran and jumped on the bed and gave me a hug, and then he looked at Jeff holding his baby sister and said, "Lucas hold her?"

Lucas was sitting on the hospital bed when Jeff put Ellen in his arms. He held her with two hands like he'd done it a hundred times before. He smiled as he held her and looked at her. His cousin, Max, was also on the bed and asked if he could hold her. Lucas said, "Sure, here ya go" as he started to pick her up and hand her to Max. Of course we quickly jumped in to help, but he was so confident and possessive of her... he knew he was the big brother : )
