so much love

Kekoa now tells us he loves us all the time, at the most random moments. He will catch us by surprise, "mama, I love you so much. I love baba too and zamboni." It melts my heart each time.
What amazes me the most is that Kekoa can love his baby sister so much, love this person that he has never even met. He is always wanting to give her kisses, belly rubs, and big hugs. He is just fascinated with my big belly and knows that his baby sister is in there. i love it when he says, "let's open her up mama." (which means, let't lift up your shirt so I can give her a kiss).
He knows she is family. He tells me how he is going to share his stuffed animals with her, his trains, his Thomas backpack, whatever it is he is playing with. I know the reality is that it will probably be hard for him to share with her, but it is still the sweetest thing that he is thinking about her.
