Remy had a hard first year or two (or three or four) year of life. He was born early, was in the NICU for a week, was on oxygen for a month at home. Didn't like to eat, didn't like to entertain himself at all, ever. Had to have 60,000.00 worth of shots to avoid getting RSV. Didn't crawl until 11 months....you get the picture, I won't go on.
So, Darrin and I always said, "you know kid, you make a very strong case for being an only child."
Luckily, we didn't believe him totally. We were then blessed with Tate. Tate has his own brand of mischievousness, but we feel kind of bad because we find ourselves saying..."you know kid, you make a strong case for being a big brother."
Unfortunately, not going to happen.
So, Tate just had to adopt a little brother. And that he did.
Meet Gavin.
Gavin is child #5 in his family and #1 in Tate's eyes. He loves to play with him, and carry him around, and stay by his side and help him however he can. He is a natural born nurturer. 
Gavin and his brother and Sister came to play this past Saturday and while the other kids were upstairs playing, Tate was having so much fun pushing Gavin around in the laundry basket.
I think Gavin really loves Tate too.
The end.

Oh, what a sweet big brother! Cuz, if their is anything Gavin needs, it's more people to spoil him :)! Gavin does love his serrogate brother too. You should see him chase Tate around trying to hug him each time he sees him!
Awe how sweet! If I ever have kids, can Tate be their Godbrother?
Great ending to a good story. So funny how he is tuckered out from pushing. How fun for him to have a "little brother" to love and take care of even if there is not blood relation. It does a mother's heart good!
Awww, that's so sweet!
Yep, Tate is one sweet kid! We love him.!
What a fun kid!
These pictures are awesome!
So cute!
