Sisterly Love!
Natalie is quite taken with her baby sister! It’s incredibly sweet to watch them together:
Big sister and little sister
Sisterly love We have a couple of stories to share that illustrate how well Natalie is taking to the new member of our family. The first happened while she visited us at the hospital and Miranda started fussing. Natalie, who was across the room at the time, came running over saying, “I bet she needs her big sister!”
Today when we came home, Natalie was excited to hold Miranda right away. Then we were all upstairs getting Miranda changed when Natalie ran into her room and came running back with her once beloved lovie, mousie. Natalie, who hasn’t been as attached to Mousie since she was about 2½, very proudly gave it to Miranda to hold.
So excited to have baby sister home!

Let’s hope this trend continues!
I have often observed many similiarities between Natalie and Ellie from early on. I am confident that Natalie will be an exceptional big sister and take to the responsbilities and joys that come with it as well as Ellie has. It is not easy to have a baby with an older child’s needs to account for, yet it is amazing and joyous to what the sibling interaction. Hugs!
