Little BIG Sister

Mylie is loving this big sister thing. She asks to hold her baby brother no less than 27 times a day: "I hold im?" When she's not asking to hold him, she's finding 3 places to kiss him. She knows to help find his pacifier if he's being cranky. She thinks she knows when it's time for his diaper to be changed and loves to be the big helper and bring me all the changing equipment. She's pretty confused about how I could possibly feed him without a bottle. She doesn't like it when someone other than her Mom or Dad is holding her baby brother. She's already bossing him around and when it looks like he's going to hit her with his flailing arms - she tells him "no hit, baby" with a cross look on her face.

She's very sweet and gentle with him and we can tell she's going to be a great big sister and very protective of her baby brother.

It's amazing to me how much she seems to have grown in the last week. She looks bigger and feels heavier than she did before. Perceptions sure change when you've got a new little one at home!
