One of the first things Kelly Madsen, Bentley’s mom, did after giving birth was let her dog smell the baby’s blanket. This way, he’d get used to the scent of his baby brother.
As soon as he got home, Bentley recognized his smell immediately and rushed over to greet him, being very gentle, yet excited. They were best friends right away. As a big brother, Bentley is very protective of his little brother and never leaves his side. He even gets upset if he can’t see him! If he cries, he makes sure we know something is wrong and is always there for the baby’s firsts.
When it was time for the baby’s newborn shoot, Bentley was front and center! He made sure everything was perfect before deciding to join in beside his brother. After all, he loved the spotlight!
No one expected Bentley to join in on the photos, but he insisted on being in them anyway. No way they were going to take pictures of his new best friend and brother without him!
The family didn’t mind since the pictures came out even better than expected. They were unique in their own way and showcased the bond between the family’s two children. Kelly was especially overjoyed at how receptive Bentley was to the new addition to the family, and knows they will get along well.
Bentley enjoys his new role as big bro, and before we know it, his little brother will be old enough to play with him!
