Brother from Another Mother (and Father)

We wondered if they would get along. Would Reese like the new member of our family? Would Parker be excited about or scared of his "big brother"?
From the first day we brought Parker home, they seemed to like each other well enough. I thought maybe it was because Parker just sat there and Reese could sniff him, and Reese was fun for Parker to watch.
Now that they are able to actually interact with each other, I know that it's because they are both happy to have a "brother" to play with.
They have a somewhat symbiotic relationship--Parker gives Reese a little bit of everything he eats, and Reese gives Parker......lots of kisses? a good push down onto the floor? nibbles on the finger? They both seem to love each other very much and enjoy each other's company.

Whatever works! I guess Reese will be his BFF until Parker has a real brother or sister to play with. Until then, I'll just keep the Handi-Wipes handy (haha!).
