The Little Mama

So it's been remarkable to watch Elizabeth blossom since we've had Abigail home with us. She is very interested in all things baby, including but not limited to changing the baby, feeding the baby, bathing the baby, and even soothing the baby. E knows that when Abigail cries there are a handful of possible solutions, including giving her her pacifier (aka pacie). Fortunately, the other morning I had my camera handy to be able to snap these pictures quickly before the moment passed.

When Abigail started crying, E took it upon herself to run (literally run) to the bassinet, scoop up the pacie, and run back to patiently hold it in A's mouth until she stopped crying. As I watched, of course, I thought to myself, "That is NOT what Abigail needs nor is it the reason why she's crying. That will never work." But just to keep me humble, Abigail actually did stop crying once her big sister stayed with her for awhile. I stood corrected (and amazed!).
