Presenting...my baby

Lilian would like to present to her blog followers her little brother, Thomas Nathanael, more commonly known by Lilian as "baby." She was a little curious in the hospital when she saw him for the first time, but was a little afraid to get too close.




Once at home, however, Lilian couldn't get enough of her little brother. She would climb up on the couch and get her arms ready to hold him (which meant she folded her arms across her chest). When we set him in her lap, she would quickly wrap her arms around him and then start "beeping" his nose, playing with his feet, and putting her cheek to his face for "kisses."


She helped Thomas through his first sponge bath at home and even whined a little when he cried. Here she is telling him he did a great job.


Now, she keeps tabs on him 24-7. She wants to know where he is, what he doing, if he needs to go "nite-nite," if he needs a diaper change...She's gonna be our big helper!!




Thomas has even been "sleeved." This is what Lilian does to us when she is tired or wants to snuggle. Now, she has one more set of sleeves in the family that she can snuggle up to!
