Caleb and Baby Kennick
I admit that I was surprised when Caleb took a breather from air hockey and rushed up stairs eager to hold Baby Kennick while we were visiting with our friends, Derek and Karalee. He has always liked babies, but has never really been interested in cuddling with one. Even when Seth was a newborn, we had to make sure that we were within arms reach when Caleb would ask to hold his baby brother, because when he was done, Caleb was done. One second he would be craddling and cooing at Seth and the next second, he was up like a flash and baby brother would be tossed aside without much more than a thought from the older brother who had places to go. Of course, Caleb was only 2 1/2 then. It was very sweet to see him actually hold Baby Kennick for longer than a millisecond and love on him without the fear that Kennick would end up in the floor if we weren't hovering over them.
