yesterday addy got to hold amelia all by herself. for the past week she kept making gestures insinuating that she wants to hold amelia...we were a bit nervous, but finally just gave in. and this is the result: a very very VERY happy addy & a pretty content amelia. it was so cute to watch how addy was so gentle with amelia, patting her head & legs & playing with her fingers.
addy's face of shock & love at how small amelia's hands are
amelia yawning & addy being very serious about her job as the baby-sister-holder
this is a few minutes into the holding session...addy seems to have relaxed a bit more & is smiling constantly. i then suggested that maybe mama could hold amelia now & she just looked so sad & shook her head "no" & then patted amelia on the head. the only way we could get amelia out of addy's grip was to say that dinner was ready to eat (greek chicken & potatoes from aunt kristi...it was very good, thanks! & addy liked it very much). apparently, according to addy, not much tops amelia at this point, except food.
Very sweet - Addy loves her already! Midnight whispers are not far behind....
