He's her biggest fan!

Toddlers aren't always the biggest fans of their infant siblings (at least, not all the time), but babies are usually wholly enamored with their older brothers and sisters. Bigger kids are an endless source of fascination for babies, no matter what they're doing—and sometimes they're wildly entertaining.
In one super adorable video, a toddler girl is singing "The Muffin Man" for her baby brother, and from the reaction he's having, you'd think he was a Swiftie with a front-row seat for Taylor's next tour!
This clip from @esengul_ruba is just too pure. The look on that baby's face! He loves his big sister so much he would probably have the same reaction to just about anything she did. These two are lucky to have each other: The baby has an older sibling who cares enough to try and make him happy, and the little girl has somebody who thinks anything she does is fantastic! Commenters loved witnessing this beautiful bond.
"He's her biggest cheerleader, so cute," wrote Ace Le.
"She's a star in his world," wrote annettetaylor432.
"Completeness," wrote Lan.
Best friends for life!
Why Babies Think Their Big Siblings Are the Best
According to Romper, just being around their older brothers and sisters is usually enough to make babies their biggest fans.
"Clinical psychotherapist Kevon Owen explains that, in many cases, a growing love between siblings will come just from being around one another. 'Familiarity is closely related to comfort,' he tells Romper via email. 'At very early ages, you may not know who people are, but you know who is present in giving you love and attention. You can encourage recognition by allowing older siblings to be a part of attention and care.'"
"'Kids are enthralled with kids,' Owen tells Romper. 'Younger ones are fascinated by what those big kids are doing. This desire for connection will grow as awareness of the world around them grows. It starts with watching then mimicking then attaching/bonding.'"
Your baby and toddler might not bond immediately, but the process will happen gradually. One sure sign that your infant and toddler are connecting? Eye contact.
"Making eye contact with a sibling indicates not only neurological growth but the growth of an important emotional relationship."
Studies show that babies benefit developmentally from being around their older siblings. Research published by the National Library of Medicine showed that having siblings benefits children's motor performance (which could explain why the baby in this video is so skilled at clapping already!).
Before long, this brother and sister will be performing "The Muffin Man" as a duet!
