Bottle time!

Hannah did a fantastic job giving her sister a bottle today. It is such a amazing to watch these sisters interact together and see the care and compassion that Hannah has for Abby. Abby continues to grow as you can see and she will be a month old tomorrow!

Big Sister Hannah

Hannah is an incredible big sister. I am amazed by the amount of affection she shows to her baby sister, Abby. She is already fairly protective of her baby sister and says some of the sweetest and cutest things. Here are a few quotes of Hannah's (from my recollection)

(Abby's crying in her car seat as we're driving) "Mommy, you need to take care of my baby sister, she's crying."

"Mommy, I love my baby sister. She came from your tummy and I'm so proud of her. I'm so proud."

"This is my little sister. She is so tiny. She has little tiny fingers, little tiny fingers and she's so little."

 "Abby's hungry, mommy she needs to drink milk (pronounced 'mwuk') from your chest."

"Mommy you come help me get Abby out of her crib."

(Abby crying again) "You're ok, you're ok, you're ok, she will come and feed you, you're ok, shhhh."

We keep telling Hannah when she hold Abby she needs to support her head but Hannah keeps talking about 'reporting' her head. It's too cute.

Hannah, your dad and I are so proud of you and are amazed (and thrilled) at what a caring and affectionate big sister you are. Thank you and we love you so much!
