When a new baby is introduced into the family, some older brothers and sisters tend to throw jealous fits. And while those childish reactions can be pretty adorable, this video posted by Ali Retelle of her son and his new daughter’s first meeting is something else.
In the touching clip, the little boy can be seen holding his sister in his arms. He couldn’t stop gazing at her tiny face as she made slight movements with her arms, and when he finally lifted his head, his parents realized that his tears had been flowing. The boy, seemingly overwhelmed by all the emotions of happiness, love, and wonder that he was feeling, couldn’t help but weep as he savored his sister’s existence. The toddler wiped his tears away using the sleeve of his sweater and went back to staring at his sister, who suddenly let out a little hiccup.
His mom said, “You can talk to her. She can’t talk back, but she knows what you’re saying,” his dad added. “You can say whatever you want to her,” said mom.
But the boy didn’t seem to have the words to express what he was feeling. So he just smiled at his sister and hugged her tight. No one could tell exactly what the toddler was thinking about at the time, but it’s clear from their first meeting that he has fallen in love with his sibling. From the looks of it, he’s going to be an excellent big brother.

Another adorable sibling moment happened four years ago between a little girl named Henley and her new sister Peyton. In a video, Henley, a year old at the time, can be seen snuggling with her new sibling in a bassinet. When her grandmother went inside their hospital room to take her new sister away, Henley refused to let go of Peyton. She would shake her head in protest whenever her grandma asked if she could take the baby. “Henley, you want me to take her?” Henley’s grandma asked, to which Henley responded with a shake of her head. She was barely blinking too, as if she was afraid that Peyton would be gone when she closed her eyes.
After more attempts, everyone in the room realized that Henley had no plans of letting her sister go. So they instead asked her if she would like to go for a ride with Peyton while they were in the bassinet, and she finally nodded her head in approval. “You gonna take care of your sister?” Henley’s grandpa asked Henley, to which she finally replied with a nod.
A family member shared the video on Facebook, where it has been viewed 94 million times. That’s not surprising, seeing how adorable the footage is.
Older siblings can really get protective, and it’s heartwarming to see that these two are starting to demonstrate it early.
Babies have a talent for dozing off in the most extraordinary positions, leaving parents both amazed and amused.

On the other hand, some babies find comfort in sleeping with their heads turned at odd angles or their bodies sprawled out in different directions. These unpredictable sleep positions often leave parents wondering how their little ones can find peace in such unconventional poses.
The astonishing sleeping positions of babies demonstrate their natural talent for finding comfort in the most unconventional situations. This showcases their ability to adapt and bounce back, reminding us of the incredible flexibility and adaptability of young bodies.
