One of my greatest hopes was that Nora would love her brother and take to him. What a relief to see and know that she's excited to have him in the house and wants to be a big helper. Here are some of the moments from the past two weeks that stand out:
Mimicking my breast pumping with a sippy cup up against her belly button.
Breastfeeding her Elmo.
Told her grandmother that she was itchy on her breasts after hearing me complain about my nipples.
"I love the baby" being a new recurrent phrase.
Kissing and tickling him on the head and toes.
Helping pick out his outfits.
Burying her head and saying, "I'm sorry!", when he cries and she can't fix it.
"On no!" Running in to help now when he cries and helping with diaper changes and spills.
Saying good morning and good night to him.
Cuddling with me when he nurses.
Climbing in behind me in bed while I was nursing him to rub my back and asking for a "mama nap".
Missing her and telling her so, that I'm not feeling well, and her saying, "I'm sorry, mama."

Having her sneak in to bed to sleep next to Owen.
Giving Owen his first sponge bath at home.
