little brothers

madelyn is reveling her her role as "big sister".  she loves that she can hold and help her little brothers.  she introduces them to everyone she meets - whether they ask or not.  here are just a few pictures from the past week of her with her brothers (and, yes, we do spend an obscene amount of time in our pajamas.  i have a hard time motivating to dress them when we aren't leaving the house at all - why make more laundry?  but don't worry, we put clean ones on them at bedtime on the days we don't get dressed.)
madelyn has rediscovered her love of 'holding' maddux this week.  her favorite is for him to lay on her while she sits on the floor.

mason has discovered that madelyn is genuinely trying to help him and she has more availability than i do because of my nursing maddux.  here she is helping him get dressed in the pants he picked out.  (notice how she hadn't finished getting herself dressed because she stopped everything to help mason.)

a cuter one of madelyn and maddux both looking at the camera.

madelyn loves it when maddux holds her fingers.  she really liked that he was almost sucking her thumb and didn't want to disturb him by moving her head to the camera when i asked her to smile.

It looks like mason is trying to get those pants on his arm. What a good big sister. I was wondering if Maddie still has that finger nail stuff on her fingers. I don't think Maddux would like it.HA Love all the pictures. Maddux looks like a boy Maddie in these pictures.
