Nickolai Finally accepts Harley!


Harley was 2 weeks old in these pictures, Nickolai had a really hard time in the begining. He didnt understand that this crying thing sometimes had to come first, he would get really upset and go into his room when she would start to cry.

When miley was a baby Nickolai would get really upset when she would cry. It took him about a year to understand that not all baby crys were bad... Now he knows when Miley is upset and comes to her rescue like a "knight in shining armor!" it is really sweet

I hope that Nickolai and Harley develop a bond like he and Miley have, they have such an amazing understanding of each other! With a huge dose of sibling rivalry on top!!!















This has to be one of my most charished moments. I was snuggling with Harley on the couch, Normally at this point Nickolai had been giving me a grumpy look and would head into his room.... but this time he was walking past and stopped, looked at me, patted his chest then came and sat down next to me.


It made me a little nervous at first because i just assumed that he would want to shove Harley away from me But he didnt, he kept patting the top of her head really softly, then he would fix the blanket so it was right up by her face..after a few minutes he started getting closer and closer to her, then he hugged her! he couldnt decide the best way to do it, so he kept adjusting his arm till he felt it was just right! It made my heart melt! <3


Cody and I have decided this was Nickolais way af deciding that Harley is okay, he seems to have accepted her and loves on her often now!


He is such a good big brother!








New Addition to the family!

Nickolai thought he has his hands full with his 2 year old sister Miley, Well on Feburary 15th 2011 Harley Kaye was born 7 lbs 2 oz 21 inches long. We are so excited to see how Nickolai does with her.

Harley was 4 days old when we took them for their photo shoot, we are planning this fall to do family pictures. I think Nickolai will do best outside where we dont have to worry about backgrounds, chairs, props and other things that Nickolai might enjoy breaking : )


When we first brought Harley home from the hospital Nickolai had a really hard time, he didnt want to share his mom, and for all those who know Nickolai he has a serious issue with blankets and anything near your mouth. It took a few weeks before he accepted that it was okay for his new sister to be swaddled in a blanket and for the binki to be in her mouth! He is still adjusting and not quite sure about it!


Miley is loving being a big sister, she has been really helpful and loves to show Harley off to all the visitors!
