It’s been 3 weeks since little Miles came into our family and Lily has taken to him so well! She is like a little mom and has mostly been very helpful. She loves to help me change Miles diaper and likes to tell me everything she thinks he needs. Every time he cries, Lily will make sure I know and tells me to go pick him up, even if he is right in front of me and even if it means putting her down to do so. She wants to talk to him all the time and she’ll say “Hi Miles. How’s it going? You doin’ good?” I just love watching her interact with him. Her latest thing is grabbing his arm and making him “wave” to us, She thinks it is so funny! I just have to make sure she doesn’t tug on him too hard sometimes. She really loves being a big sister and I am so happy she doesn’t seem to be jealous or hurt that we need to give Miles so much attention.
One thing she loves is trying out all of her old baby stuff, like Miles baby chair…
And while I was looking through the baby clothes she found her first Halloween costume…
We’ve had a lot of fun lately getting ready for Christmas. Enjoying the festivities downtown and decorating the Christmas tree. Lily has taken the opportunity every day to rearrange the ornaments to make the tree “just right”
We went to our ward Christmas party and Lily insisted she bring her pumpkin to get candy, just like she did at the last church party we went to. Who was I to stop her? She wasn’t thrilled, however, with having to sit on Santa’s lap…
I just love the little person that Lily is becoming. She definitely has her moments, but I am so happy she is in our family and that I get the opportunity to help raise her.
