Sisters

No one told me about this, but one of the greatest joys as a parent is seeing your children interact. Erica has been surprisingly wonderful about the addition of Sadie to our family. Erica used to get very jealous whenever I held another baby, but she has done very little of that lately. She is always concerned about Sadie whenever she cries and she will ask where Sadie is if she can't see her. Erica is not too much of a help, but she has tried feeding Sadie a bottle and reading her books. She is good about putting the pacifier in Sadie's mouth if I can't get to it right away.

Sadie also loves her big sister. She is always looking at Erica and has given Erica the biggest smiles so far. She puts up with Erica touching (mauling) her and doesn't seem to mind Erica being in her face.

I hope things stay this way. I hear it goes downhill once the baby starts crawling. We'll see.

I love the last one of them looking at each other. So cute! You should make them share a twin bed when Sadie is old enough to kick Erica all night long-- then they will be real sisters like us. Haha.

Awe, I loved that post. It is the best thing in the world to have two girls that love to spend time together!! You are doing a great job.
