New Year News

20131008-IMG_1168Well, it’s been quite a while since I last posted…an entire holiday season, as a matter of fact. Much, much has happened, and I’m excited to be back sharing my thoughts on all of it. The biggest news is that Syd has a baby brother now, 4.5 month old Nolan, whom she loves to cuddle and take care of.

For his part, Nolan is absolutely enamored of his big sis and I can already tell that she can do no wrong in his eyes. As tiring and overwhelming as the past few months have been adjusting to the biggest change in our family’s life, seeing my two babies interact with each other makes my heart so full to bursting with love and pride and happiness.

Sydney has really taken to the big sister/big girl mantle and wears it with great pride. Whenever I say “mama’s two babies,” she corrects me right away by saying “I not a baby. I big girl. I take care of Nolan, I take care of mama, I take care of Emma, I take care of daddy.” She never ceases to amaze me with her self-awareness and maturity.
