Scarlett will climb up next to me when I'm feeding Logan on the couch and tell me "My turn! My turn, mommy!" So when I'm done, I'll put the Boppy on her lap and let her hold him. She loves getting to hold the baby. She's started singing the lullabye I sing her at night to him (well, as much as she can...she's 2).
Also, when I'm pumping, she comes over, pats my leg, and says, "It's okay, mommy." Apparently she thinks it hurts or something. Then she gets really excited when the bottles start filling up, and yells "Da milk! Da milk!" She's an odd one.
I just cleared out the photos from my phone, so I don't have one of her holding him, but she wanted to do pictures with all of us, so here's a really awkward selfie.
This is my bigs cheering on/for Anna Jo. She rolled over yesterday for the first time (front to back) and they (bigs) may have been more excited than DH and I.

Whenever DD is laying on her playmat, DS will play right next to her the whole time. He will lay on the edge of her playmat with her and just play quietly as long as she is laying there, and if she fusses he will try to give her a pacifier or give her "gentle rubs" to try to calm her down.
Also, if she is in her swing, he will sneak over (he thinks he is doing this unnoticed ) and hold her swing to stop it, then give her a hug and kiss and push her swing to start it up again before sneaking away. Melts my heart every time!
12yo ds held E for the first time on Saturday. Only took 7 weeks for him to do it lol he did a good job too! E instantly quieted down (though it only lasted 5 min)
@bribbon I keep trying to tell LO to slow down!! Doesn't she know that she is the last baby for our family? Didn't anyone tell her that momma really wanted to have a baby for a little bit longer? I think she baby rolls her eyes at me when I tell her this.
I feel like I AW my bigs all the time, but I want to keep going. DH and I went out alone for the first time on Saturday, leaving LO with my mom and my bigs. My 13 yo took control and my mom barely got to do anything. She even pissed my mom off by telling her she was doing something wrong and took the baby from her. DD2, likes to entertain LO, but DD1 is mini me. Her new nickname is nanny.
DD1 was sitting up holding DD2 on her bed for me while I was ironing. I went in the room to check on them and freaked out because all I could see was DD1 laying down. I said "where is your sister!!???!???" She gave me the "Why are you overreacting look!?" and moved the cover ever so slightly to reveal the pic. MY HEART MELTED!!!!!
My big is only 21 months old and not too aware that her sis is NOT a toy. However, DD1 walks around with a 9 inch Elmo doll tucked under her arm for a while now. Since DD2's arrival, we have seen Elmo tucked into the swing or bouncer with a swaddle blanket gently placed on him. She has become a 'mommy' to Elmo suddenly, feeding him and placing a bib on him. It is really cute to see her be gentle with Elmo.
As far as he sister, she will rest her head on her when I am nursing her and babble in a high pitched voice to her. So cute to watch!
DD1 loves holding her little brother she gets super upset when I have to take him back! First photo was on the day we came hospital & the first time she meet him!
