Big Sis

Dear Lila,

You are officially a big sister! Your baby brother was born last week and you are so smitten with him. When Daddy and I brought him home from the hospital, your face lit up when you first saw him and you kept smiling and pointing at him and saying, "Baby! Baby!" You also keep saying, "Me hold!" and look soooo happy when I put DiDi on your lap so you can hold him. You and GuhGaw have been fawning over DiDi and petting him a lot (yes, like he's a puppy!) and have even lifted up your shirts and asked to feed him, too, when you see me nurse him, haha! When he opens his eyes and then closes them, you say "see more" because you like to see his eyes. And every time you look at DiDi, you tell me that he's "so cute" and when I asked you if you love your baby brother, you replied,"So much." *melt*

Since meeting DiDi, you have helped me feed him a bottle of milk and burp him, read to him when he started crying, sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to him--complete with all the hand gestures--and, on multiple occasions, put your fingers on either side of your mouth and pulled your mouth outward to make a silly face and get your brother to laugh. You are already such an awesome big sis!


And in other milestones news, today you wore undies for the first time:


As you can see from the photo, you are quite excited about going diaper-free!

Love,
Mom
