While I was pregnant, we of course spent a fair amount of time talking to Addie about her new baby brother that was coming, and emphasizing that she is going to be a "Big Sister" and how wonderful that is going to be. There are so many stories about older siblings being jelous or regressing when the baby arrives, so we wanted to try to do what we could do get her excited about the big change! Well, we need not fear. Addie thinks that Andrew is the best thing ever. Seriously. Every single day that she gets home from daycare, the very first question that she asks is "Where is Andrew?" She usually asks this while her hand is still on the doorknob and before she is even completely in the house. She then spends the next several minutes in his face (approx) 1 inch from his face, laying on him, talking to him, pretty much anything that she can do until he starts to cry from being smothered - at which point we then pull her away to give him some breathing room.
Check out the look on Andrew's face and his amazing hair - gotta love it!
Addie a little annoyed that Andrew is not cooperating and loving her hugs......
Night night kiss for baby brudder.
Addie is always requesting to hold Andrew, although she usually only ends up wanting to do it for a couple of minutes until her attention gets redirected elsewhere, but we go through this several times a day!
