Taking care of Little Bruz

Matthew has starting calling Seth "Little Bruz" for a nickname. Matthew still can't make a "th" sound very well, so he says brother like "bruzzer". We suggested "Little Bro", but he thought Little Bruz was better.

Matthew has done a very good job taking care of Seth. Matthew has developed some issues with not being the sole center of the universe anymore, but he hasn't really directed that on Seth at all (instead, he directs it on us). He is still very caring and loving with his Little Bruz, and he is very proud to be a big brother.

When we first got home from the hospital, Matthew started reading his stories to Seth. We set up the scene again to preserve it in this video:

Seth is so active. It looks like he can almost roll over! Matthew looks like he really is enjoying Seth. Your boys are both so cute. We loved watching the video. My kids want to know who those cousins are! Let us know when you're here for a visit so we can remind them!! By the way Julie, you are awesome! What a labor story. You must be really good at it. Good luck with everything!

Wow, what a story for Seth's baby book! I'm so thrilled that everything worked out alright - and that Jon finished the bar worry free as it were he he. Seth is a cutie pie and I know that Matthew will adjust. He'll be a great big bruz. :D
