Big Sister Love...

Anna is absolutely in love with Caroline!! She loves, loves, loves her.

I have to tell y'all about last night:



(At 4:30 this morning)

Casey and I decided to put Caroline in our room and let her sleep in the pack-n-play. She's been staying in the nursery so we were just anxious to see how she would make it through the night.

To make a long story short:

Because of my terrible spinal headaches I was unable to do ANYTHING last night. Let me just say Casey got a good taste of what life would be like without me...at 3:30am Anna has made her way to our bed and is lying down with me while Casey is in the rocking chair feeding Caroline. Well, Caroline is crying just a little bit because she wants to eat and not burp..and Anna doesn't know what to think of this. She is sitting up staring at Caroline (very concerned) and then all the sudden Casey and I realize that her eyes are full of tears and it's upsetting her to see her baby sister cry. SO... I let her get out of the bed and go over to "help" Casey. She went right over and put her hand on Casey's hand to help feed and said "kay, baby, kay"... Everything was "okay" now that Anna was helping. =)

When Sister Sarah woke up this morning she said "I only heard the baby cry three times"... our response was.. "that was Anna!"

Feeding/burping Caroline took a long time and Anna had three little meltdowns during the process. One because Casey had to tell her not to touch "baby's face" and she got her feelings hurt. Two because she said Caroline needed a hug and we said she needed to eat first... we finally let Anna give her a hug and things were better.. THEN meltdown number three (which was the biggest meltdown) was because Anna wanted Caroline to sleep in the bed with all of us and we put her back in the pack-n-play. Finally, I held Caroline and we all pretended to go to sleep and once Anna was sleeping soundly we put Caroline in the pack-n-play. By 5am we were ALL sleeping soundly.

Anna loves her "Baby Cay-line" and all she wants to do is "hold baby" and "hug baby" and "help with baby"



















She's the best big sister!! "Baby Cay-line" is VERY lucky to have Anna!!

I'll be back soon! Y'all take care!
