Brothers with their New Baby Sisters

Noah Lawrence and Sofia Caroline
Yesterday was the first day that Noah actually asked to hold Sofia. He even told her that he loved Shaak-Ti. He really is an amazing Big Brother. He has been really cautious around her. I don't know exactly how he feels about having her around all the time. It has been great for him so far. With the holidays and Dad at home, he has been having a party. He has been playing at Grandma's, sleeping over with Ginny and genuinely having a great time.

He likes to climb on the chair where I am feeding Sofia and sit next to us and rub her hair and laugh at her. The first time he did this he look at me and pointed down and said "Oh mom, Ow Ow on you" and I said "no it is not Ow" He said "But, Teeth ow, chomp chomp". So I explained that babies don't have teeth and that is why Heavenly father made it so that mommies could feed their babies. He had to examine inside her mouth and now each time I feed her. He says. "No Ow, No teeth". I think it is really smart that he even thought of that. He also likes to play with her hands and fingers. He will just sit and stroke them and make sign language signs with them and show me. She just puts up with it. Sofia always has her hands near her face and one way to center her is to hold her hand. Noah always makes a baby voice when he talks to her or about her things. We will see how things go when reality hits after daddy goes back to work. But he has been a trooper so far.

He likes to study and count all of her parts. She has two "boo boo ful" eyes, two ears, one cute baby nose and 10 fingers and toes. She actually has really dainty long fingers and long toes. He will sit by her cradle and talk and sing to her. He is realy cute with her. I am so glad that so far they get along.

Pal the Dog and Rosie
This is Noah's best Friend Pal the Dog, he has a new baby sister and her name is Rosie. Rosie also was at the hospital when Sofia came. Noah let her come home a day early. Pal and Rosie really love each other. They give each other lick kisses, their favorite thing to do is to wrestle each other all over Noah's bed. They both love to bark and squeeze the pudding out of each other. Now, Pal and Rosie have to sleep with Noah. Rosie sometimes gets the honor of hanging out with Sofia but only as a special treat when she has made good choice.

So far so good with these New Big Brothers, Their baby sisters are really lucky to have them.
