Big Sister Anna




I have to say that I am very proud of my little Anna. She has taken to being a 'big sister' pretty well considering how much of a change it's been in her life. Now, that's not saying that she can't be a little stinker at times - especially when it comes to Jaden. She is very aware that she is bigger than him and smarter than him...for now. I have to watch because she is quick to take things she wants from him in the blink of an eye - toys, books, popsicles. Jaden may be little but he sure has a powerful cry/scream. He generally doesn't just roll over when she takes advantage of him - he lets someone know!

As for Luke, she is much more confident in her baby handling skills this time. She tries to pick him up by herself and wants to hold him walking. She actually does very well but I'm still a cautious mother hen. At least this time I've realized that he's much sturdier than I used to think babies were and he can handle it. With that being said, I would not take my chances where Jaden is involved. He's the sweetest little boy but he's a bit of a bull in a china shop. He wants to kiss Luke over and over. I think the kiss ratio is at least 20+:1 for the rest of us. But he's quick to get up and try to jump on the bed if Luke is lying there or try to crawl over him to get to a toy before his sister. Protecting Luke from Jaden is definitely one of my top priorities after nursing and pumping!
