So So Suck My Toe...

I bathed Brooklyn and Tessa together last night (doesn't happen very often anymore because TJ splashes and Boky freaks) and I realized just how much Brooklyn loves Tessa. She is such a good big sister. Here's the story...

Tessa: gaaaa gaaaa mmmmmm [She is splashing and trying to get something in front of her]
Brooklyn: Mom I think she wants my toes
Tessa: [Leans forward and snatches a toe, and starts to pull it to her mouth] gaaaaaaaa
Me: Tessa you can't eat Sister's toes, they are yucky.
Brooklyn: [Reaches for the soap and starts scrubbing her feet] It's ok mom, I will wash my toes so she can suck on them


Brooklyn is so selfless when it comes to her baby sister. I just love how much she loves her. She is always protecting her and making sure she is ok. In fact, I hate to admit this, but when I am busy and trying to get one last thing done before I pick up the screaming 6 month old, Brooklyn is right there trying to comfort her and telling me "hurry up mom!"

I LOVE MY GIRLS!!


p.s. No I did NOT let her suck on Broklyn's toes :)

Day One at the Hospital...

August 11th, 2010

The day Tessa was born. Brooklyn came down to meet her for the first time and was extremely hesitant. I don't know if the hospital setting scared her or if she was just freaked out by the baby but she warmed up enough to hold Tessa for a few seconds and then wanted to leave. Boky did much better the next day though.

Day Two at the Hospital...

This was the day after Tessa was born. Brooklyn had finally warmed up to the idea of having a baby sister. She actually wanted to hold and love her. She was so cute!

The weird parents and the sweet baby ;)

Boky loved holding Tessa

Being her cheesy little self :)

She asked to hold Tessa

She decided she could give me loves this day.

One of the CNA's made this hat for Tessa, It was so cute on her little head.

Tessa's first bath at home...

The last day of being pregnant...

***Thanks mom for taking these pictures last minute for me :O)

Yesterday I got the chance to actually go out on the town by myself! I found a sitter (thank you jamie, and mom) and headed to Logan to do some Father's Day shopping and get some household supplies as well. It was good to be able to stop at whatever store I wanted with out having to fenagle a 2 year old or a husband ;) Anywho the main reason I am telling you all about this trip is because....

I bought Brooklyn some much needed new pajama's and when I gave them to her she got all excited. Then she looked at me and said, "Did you get some for sister?"
