Sister Bonding

We are all adjusting to life as a family of four. Sophie requested to hold Baby Emily recently so we enjoyed the photo opp moment and Sophie seemed to be cautious but curious and very careful and interested in Baby Emily. She has even started helping and yesterday held Baby Emily's pacifier in for her and tried to get her a bottle. When Baby Emily cries Sophie very genuinely asks "She ok????" and is obviously very worried. We reassure her that babies cry and Baby Emily is indeed ok. It's sweet that she is so worried about her already. Of course, there are things we're still adjusting to like not screaming when Baby Emily is sleeping and getting used to taking turns getting held by mommy or daddy. But we're getting there... All of us are learning how to be a happy family of four (well, six if you count the cats, seven if you count "Fishy" and actually more like 12 if you count the feral family that has taken over our back deck). We know it will be an ongoing process but we're learning every day!
