Travis Sharing & Crib Crashing

Jessica is about 4 1/2 months old. Today I saw Travis try to share with Jessica twice. First, he put an animal cracker in her hand. I explained of course she was too little. Then this evening Travis wanted more animal crackers. Instead, we made sweet potato crackers. He got to lick the bowl since there aren't any eggs. Then he tried to hand the whole big bowl to Jessica!
Also today he climbed into her crib a couple of times. This is getting more common. Lately he likes to climb in there after she wakes up look at her and share a smile. After she's happy and he's happy, he wants her out of there though so he can jump! (It's a short lived but touching moment.)
Krystel told me that this morning when Jessica was sleeping and Travis was in the kitchen with her, Travis quietly disappeared. This could mean many things--from him simply moving to the living room to play or sneaking to our bedroom and hiding behind the curtain to play with a found contraband item. However, Krystel has incredible instincts and she said right away she wondered if maybe he went to hang out with a sleeping Jessica in her crib. Sure enough, that is where she found him quietly sitting in the crib looking at her and eventually gently touching her foot. What a good natured boy we have!
