Siblings {February 2014}
I started joining in with Siblings last month as a way of trying to capture my two children’s growing bond and last month’s photos were very much staged – Getting them both to sit and play on our bed together. This month is a whole new story. Little man has learnt to crawl and he is now intent on playing with his Sister whether she likes it or not!
I managed to catch on camera a spontaneous moment of affection between my gorgeous LP and Little Man, a combination of a hug and a squish from LP, with Little Man loving every minute of it.
Little Man loves his Sister, she makes him smile and laugh constantly for no reason at all, just by being there. LP loves her Brother. She’s still getting used to him, she still gets upset if he plays with her toys and sometimes she frets when he comes too close to her.
But other times, she’s happy to cuddle him, give him kisses, bring him toys and generally be there for him. She shows she loves him when she wants to.
Little Pickle and Little Man. Siblings.
Arlo does a very similar thing with Rory and they both find it hilarious.
I tend to automatically opt for staged photos, but as you said, it’s the candid shots that are special and that capture a real moment, so I’m really trying to remember to have a mix of candid and more posed photos for the Siblings project.
Lovely photos Donna. Makes me want another one!
Love the spontaneous hug, and your son’s clear delight! #Siblings
Oh these photos are lovely. What a doting big sister, and I love how proud the little man looks of all the attention he’s getting from his sister and mummy with the camera. These sort of unposed moments are what childhood is made of, how lovely to have captured them. x
The first photo is ever so sweet, your little man looks so happy to be getting a hug
That top photo is STUNNING! Definitely one for a frame somewhere!! Really lovely.xx
Cherry really hates it when J goes to get her toys. I can understand especially when she’s playing so nicely with things and he comes to destroy it! Not sure what the solution is! Lovely photos x
Time I guess – As they get older She’ll be more tolerant and he’ll learn to share. Time is my answer to everything – ‘It’s just a phase!’ 🙂 x
The first photo is adorable, you can see how much he is loving cuddles from his big sister! #siblings
