Big Sister

Whitney has totally embraced her new little brother.  There was a lot of anticipation leading up to his arrival and talking about all the things she was going to get to do with him. I forgot to mention there was a lot she wouldn't be able to do at first.  Oops! That caused for a few rocky moments. So, the first few days were all about figuring out what it is she actually can help with.   One of her favorites is restocking the diapers. She also likes to help burp him.  Hopefully, her eagerness will continue to grow as he does!

She showers him with snuggles and kisses.  She says "Bless You" when he sneezes, and "Excuse You" when he dirties his diaper.  In the car she holds his hand.  If she hears him crying she rushes to help.  When we first put her down at night and she hears him crying she yells down, "Mama, the baby ok"?

She learned to say Colin pretty quickly, though its more like "Tolin".  But it is super cute to hear her say his name.  The other day, she said "Mama, Colin loves you".   How precious is that!  And since then she has said, "I love my boy".  Ok, that's even more precious! We couldn't be more proud of our little girl!

                                            That is an amazing smile.

                                            Some more together time over TV.
