Best Big Sister

First I would like to apologize for being a bad blogger lately. We have been under the weather in our house and I am taking an online course, so blogging has been put on the back burner. I should have posted this blog back on Nov. 7, but here we are on Nov. 18.

This girl is going to be the best big sister!

I recently bought a sling for Baby Sister, and Rebecca had to try it out first to make sure it was good enough for her sister.

I think it past the test.

On November 2nd, in dramatic fashion, my sister Denise had a baby girl. They named her Ambrose Denton Collins. Rebecca and I got to go up and see her on November 6. I was very anxious to see how Rebecca would react to the baby. She has really gotten into baby dolls lately and she seemed excited to see Baby Rose, but until they were face to face, I wasn't sure.

Needless to say, I should not have been worried that Rebecca would not take to the baby, but that she would love her a little too much. As soon as she saw Rose, she asked to hold her.

Then when it was my turn to hold her, Rebecca got upset. Not because I was holding a baby, but because she wanted to hold the baby some more.

Luckily Aunt Deesa came to the rescue and gave Rebecca some cuddles.

And I got to snuggle with my namesake. (I like to think that at least.)

After that, Rebecca was all up in Rose's face. When Denise was changing Rose's diaper, Rebecca would bend down to kiss her or she would bring Rose a toy to play with. Rebecca even had to get up close and personal when Denise was nursing. She was very curious about what was going on.

It was great to see that Rebecca loved her baby cousin so much.

Lately she has been praying for Baby Sister in Mommy's belly. Maybe she is starting to understand a little more. We will see in about 12 weeks.
