The Maltbie family uploads family footage on YouTube for everyone to watch. They have 48k subscribers, which is rather astounding. Their movies include family events, excursions, games, and even anecdotes about mom’s pregnancy.
This one was when she gave birth to Harper Rose. Their son, Brayden, is featured in the video, and he is ready to see his newborn sister for the first time. And he was ecstatic about it as well!
He’s carrying flowers and a balloon!
Dad calls Brayden, who has been waiting in another room, and the two of them go to where mom and baby Harper are resting.
“Dad?” inquires
“Would you like to meet your new sister?”
which Brayden responds to.
“I can hardly wait!”

He’s a nice child.
The sound of a screaming newborn fills the air as they approach the room, and the dad informs him that what he is hearing is his newborn sister. Dad and Brayden go into the room. Harper’s tears are immediately stopped when Brayden sees her for the first time. Perhaps she was aware that her older brother was present.
Brayden is powerless to stop himself.
The small man starts crying, and he’s not even trying to hide it. He still has a charming smile on his face. Brayden is completely immersed in the present. That is the beauty of life.

Mom is weeping now!
It spreads like wildfire. That overpowering sensation of affection spreads, especially among family members. They had just welcomed their newest member, and everyone was overjoyed. Let it all hang out, boys!
You as well, Dad!
Brayden approaches his newborn sister to get a better look at her. Mama reaches out to embrace and kiss him. It’s a wonderful moment, and young Harper is just standing there, unaware that she’s the reason for it.
Babies have this amazing influence.
Mom stretches her arm out, allowing Brayden to lean in for his first kiss. This is one fantastic big brother. That he will be. He will always have his sister’s back. Brayden, your bodyguard!
Take a look at Harper’s little feet! So little, yet already leaving a mark on everyone’s hearts. Those are also permanent prints. Brayden, consider this your first tattoo! There’s more to it than that.
Tears of joy!
On that day, in room 2405, “Big Brother” cried with delight. And since he did, mom and dad did as well. It’s a very great moment to witness, knowing that they are a close-knit family who prioritizes themselves above all else. That is exactly as it should be.
In this video, Brayden was six years old.
That makes him 8 now, and Harper Rose is 2. She can now speak and play with her older brother. Brayden is undoubtedly gentle with her. He probably sneaks in a few pinches and squeezes here and there, along with a few kisses. Or quite a bit.
Harper doesn’t seem to mind.
The reason for this is that the more care and affection newborns receive as they grow older, the more they trust their parents and siblings. Families are held together by an invisible force. People are always thrilled when they perform physical gestures of affection. Consider what it can do for a child or a toddler who has their entire life ahead of them.
