When I got home from work yesterday, Jill shared a story that happened at the house that I thought I would post.
Emmy (now 4.5 months) was crying pretty hard and was not taking her bottle and Abby asked “what wrong Mommy?” Jill replied, “I’m frustrated that Emmy isn’t taking her bottle and I don’t know why she’s crying”. Without saying a word Abby went upstairs and grabbed one of Emmy’s toys, her blanket and a pacifier and came downstairs and said “Here you go Emmy”. Pretty cute. Abby has certainly taken to the role of big sister. Just this morning Abby got mad at me because she wanted to lie beside Emmy in her crib when she woke up and I told her we had to go down and eat breakfast before I left for work.
These are pretty typical events that happen daily as Abby is a GREAT big sister and loves Emmy dearly. It’s really cool to see. I’m posting this because in the not-so-distant future I’m sure they will be mortal enemies and I want a reminder that at one point in their childhood, they were buddies!!

Another "sister story" worth sharing -- the other day Abby and I were hanging out downstairs while Emmy was napping. After only a brief sleep, Emmy woke up crying. I told Abby I'd be right back, that I needed to go stick the paci in Emmy's mouth and try to soothe her back to sleep. Abby said "Mommy, can I come with you?" I said sure, but explained that we couldn't talk and needed to be very quiet b/c it was important for Emmy to go back to sleep. So we tip-toed in her room and true to her word, Abby just stood there silently looking at Emmy. When I realized the paci wasn't going to do the trick, I whispered "Abby, I'm going to rock her for a minute, but we still need to be quiet." Abby climbed up next to me on the rocker, and Emmy was in my arms, facing her big sister. That's when I heard a little baby giggle. Then another. Emmy was looking at Abby and laughing! Abby was smiling right back, but still obeying by not talking. Except to say "Mommy, I think she's awake." I agreed, and we gave up on Emmy going back to sleep after that!
