I'll have to try and capture this on video. Abby has been doing this in pieces since Emily was born but she just finally put it all together this morning.
I had swaddled Emily and put her in the bouncer for her morning nap. I started unloading the dishwasher and out of nowhere she just started wailing. Before I could get the next dish on the shelf, I hear Abby at her side going "Shhhh Shhhhh" just like I do. Then she tried to get Emily to take her lovely "Mo Mo" and said "It's OK Baby" (like I do). Emily actually did calm down seeing and hearing her big sister
Awwwwwww!
Mind you, I would prefer she give Emily a pacifier, but sacrificing MoMo to your baby sister is a pretty nice gesture! I made sure to compliment Abby on what a good big sister she was and how much the baby appreciated it.
She still refuses to say Emily. I try almost every day to have her say it but the other day she just looked me square in the eye and said "I call it Baby".
ETA: In the time it took me to write, Emily has TWO MoMo's!
Re: Cutest.Thing.Ever.
Wow.. sacrificing MoMo? That's a big deal.. I hope Emily knows how loved she is.
And suuuuuper cute! Abby is such a doll.
