affection




RM was never super affectionate - until J-bug arrived on the scene. We used to ask him for kisses, and he'd just lean his forehead near our mouth to receive our kisses. He didn't dole them out. Blowing a kiss was even a rare treat. Ever since we were blessed with June, he has been planting big slobbery kisses all over her head, sharing toys, asking to hold her, etc. This week he tried to share his nebulizer treatment... sly guy. The most recent development in his affection for his sister is illustrated in the third picture here. RM has a security blanket which he has named "Dah". He won't suck his thumb unless Dah is in his grasp. Just in the last couple weeks however, when he rubs Junie's head, he will put the thumb in too. I don't expect it to last, but his sister as security-blanket-subsitution at times is rather endearing to me right now.
