Erick is growing up so fast. He looks so big, yet compared to Tripp everyone is big. I know that he loves his brother, and tries to be so helpful. But I also know that he is very jealous of Tripp, and does not like to feel excluded. For example, Nana might feel like she could balance Erick and Tripp in her lap together, but Erick needs to have both legs in order to feel comfortable. He lets me know that Tripp is crying, and promptly runs over and tries to put a pacifier in Tripp's mouth, sometimes after sampling it himself. I did however catch him trying to share his Cheetos with Tripp, but was he really trying to be friendly? As I am typing this, Erick is doing something that I don't like him to do, which is to literally run circles around a content Tripp, who now knows how to roll over, and sometimes he "accidentally" falls onto a part of Tripp. Is Erick as loving as I think he is, or is he trying to find the right time to make his move? He doesn't understand that Tripp's flailing arms aren't trying to hit him and they definitely aren't trying to steal his choo choo or trucks. Well, as sneaky as Erick can be sometimes, it's obvious of his affection for the baby and I tell him what a good big brother he is. Maybe it will stick.
