doting on dane

dote- (verb)
to bestow or express excessive love or fondness habitually.

My little b's have spent the last few weeks doting on Dane any chance they get. Berkley and Beckham have especially enjoyed caring for their new little cousin. As soon as they get a peek at him, their face brightens with a big smile.

You can see the joy that this little blessing brings them, and it is so awesome to watch.

They have spent some time sharing stories with Dane.And he always seems very interested to hear them!

The boys have seemed to share a few secrets with each other. (Who knows the plans they might be making!)Berkley has shared a few laughs with Dane.

And, of course, Dane has been showered with kisses!!!

Brenner has slowly become somewhat interested in Dane. (A big improvement from their first meeting!)

Basically, Berkley & Beckham could stare at Dane all day long! It is absolutely precious!

Simply mesmerized by everything he does... even when he is sleeping.

The joy seems to be never ending. And finally, my baby b decided to experience this joy too. After watching Berkley and Beckham hold Dane SO many times, he wanted a turn.He watched baby Dane closely and it brought a smile to his face too. He was now experiencing the joy of this tiny miracle.Something tells me these two guys are going to be big buds soon! There is something so joyful about a new baby. I think, for me, it is the fact of what an awesome miracle a baby is in the first place. To begin to realize that this precious life is here by no accident. Our Creator made him perfectly in His image and planned the precise time that Dane would bless us on this earth. I am completely blessed to be a part of his life and look forward to all of the memories that my little b's and I will get to make with him. I LOVE being an Aunt!
