Big brother in training

So if you read this blog, chances are pretty high you already know Ryebread is going to be a big brother! Even more exciting is that he is going to have a little sister! In preparation for this big life change in the Bachman house, we've been trying hard to bring up "Baby Lindsey" whenever possible.

It's obvious Ryan loves the baby already. He likes to kiss mommy's belly and say hi and night night to the baby and he's even getting pretty good at saying Lindsey.

His awareness of the baby wasn't completely apparent, though, until this morning. Rye's very first boppy (it's a little baby boppy to help them do tummy time or to prop them up when they're lying on the floor) was out in the living room because the place where it was being stored got re-classified as a toy chest. Ryan picked it up and said "baby!" Mommy said, "that's right, that's for the baby. Good job, Rye!" And he smiled and did his happy dance and said baby again and brought the boppy over and put it on mommy's tummy.

Already, he's looking out for his little sister. He's going to be a great big brother.
