So many people ask me how Vivian and Kate are with Hank. They are sweet with him, giving him lots of hugs and kisses, but only when they stop what they're doing long enough to notice him (kind of self-absorbed most of the time, just as kids are!). 
Vivian asks to hold him a couple times a day, but she is noticeably more interested in holding him when a visitor is holding him (territorial?!).
They are both all over me when I'm nursing. I have to exercise a lot of self-control to not get frustrated or push them away too quickly. I have been giving lots of bottles for this reason. (either they are right on top of me and Hank while he's eating, or they are dragging out as many toys as they possibly can in that 20 minutes! haha)
Vivian is pretty quiet with him...just holds him and looks at him. I think she doesn't really know what to say to him because he doesn't do anything. Kate is more in his face, talking to him sweetly, but really only repeats things that I say to him. Actually, Kate pays more attention to him than I thought she would...wanting to help burp him, hold a bottle, etc.
Kate likes getting her picture taken with him.
She has been a little more clingy in the last month, and we've noticed that she sometimes talks like a baby. Hmmm...
One thing I do worry about is that they will resent him for taking so much of my attention, and also because I'm really bad about barking at them for being loud while he's sleeping. I need to let that go and let them be kids and just expect him to get used to it. It's hard, though, when I know how precious it is that he's taking a good nap!
But honestly they seem to be adjusting well to the changes at our house.
At this point, I put down the camera and intervened :)
