Is it just me or does Mckinlay seem like she's about 5 years older than she was when I left for the hospital!?
Because of the flues going around, the hospital was not allowing visitors under the age of 18, so Mckinlay didn't get to meet Eliza until Wednesday when we got home.
Mckinlay is so sweet {and "careful"} with her and wants to do everything for her. "I can change her!" "I can hold her all by myself." "I can get her blanket!" {Although she knows only mommy can feed her "from her milk cups" or her "milky moles".} And she is always stroking her head calling her "my little sweetie." It's just about the cutest thing.
She doesn't like it when Eliza cries, it kinda stresses her out and she always covers her ears. And Eliza's "owie" {umbilical chord} freaks her out every time she sees it. She is convinced she can't touch the baby until it's gone {or until she forgets about it -- about 2 mins after seeing it.}
Mckinlay does look so much older holding Eliza! You can see the love in her eyes for her.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good big sis she already is!
ReplyDeleteShe is adorable! Your girls are so sweet together. (Haha! I love Mckinlay's interpretations of life.)
ReplyDeleteThat is the sweetest little movie! "I'm being careful" she says to her little sister. She is such a doll. Congratulations Meg you make beautiful little girls! And they are so lucky to have a wonderful mom like you! I hope your recovery is going well, and you're getting some sleep. I can't wait for a sister photo shoot! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! She is absolutely beautiful! How fun to have two sweet little girls. I'm so happy for you and your family!
ReplyDeleteOh my so darling little girl!! Congrats over and over! Isn't it so nice to not be pregnant any more?!? :-) Gotta love those cheeks!
ReplyDeleteShe is so wonderful!! And her cheeks are seriously so dreamy! I am so glad she is here-healthy and safe! How was the delivery? Good luck with the recovery and I hope you get LOTS of sleep and rest!
ReplyDeleteisn't that weird-- when you have a new baby and compare it to your older kids? they suddenly seem so HUGE!

ReplyDeleteHow cute! That Mckinlay looks like such a great big sister and Ohhhh that Eliza, that a darling little baby girl!
ReplyDeleteAdorable. You have a beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteI was trying to show Preston that McKinlay is a big sister & he will soon have his own little brother or sister. His response, "Toys. I want the toys (that the baby & McKinlay were laying on). Then he decided, "I want the nakey baby." Hopefully we hold with the latter :)
