First day on the job

Lily has taken to the role of big sister like a fish to water. We are so proud of how calm and caring she is with Noah. This is from yesterday, and this morning the first thing she said when she woke up was, "I hold baby Noah?"

Big Sister

Lily's first act of big sisterhood? She had to take off Noah's socks and play "This Little Piggy"...

Getting ready

Lily, like her mommy and daddy, is very excited for Baby Noah to come home. I've been trying to involve her as much as possible in our preparation for his arrival, and she has been more than happy to help. Here she is helping me fold some of his clothes (a huge thank you to Lily's Uncle Nick and Aunt Brandy, who sent a big box of preemie clothes for her little brother!)... she decided to try on one of the hats.

Then she wanted her picture taken with Georgie!

Big news!

Little did we know when Lily and I were lazily lounging on the sofa on Sunday, when J. took this photo, that we would be welcoming Lily's little brother this week!

It has been a crazy few days, so we've been a little absent-minded with the camera, but Lily took a trip to the hospital to meet her little brother today! She brought her stethoscope to show the doctor, and we were overwhelmed but ultimately pleased at how excited she was to see him... in fact, she loved looking at him so much that she threw an absolute fit when we finally had to leave. But it looks like the role of Big Sister is one that she will be great at. More photos to come over the next few days!
