Big Sister

Anna has been very sweet with her baby sister, especially lately. She's formed quite the attachment to Silvia in the six short weeks since we brought her home.

The first thing she says when she gets up in the morning is, "Where's Silvia? Wanna go say hi to Silvia!". The other day in the car while Silvia was crying (she always cries in the car, she hates driving), Anna told her, "Don't worry, Silvia, it's okay, we're almost home." She then proceeded to sing her "Twinkle Little Star" and the Silvia version of "Mockingbird".

"Hush little Silvia, don't say a word, Anna's gonna buy you a mockingbird."

Singing is pretty much Anna's favorite activity these days, that and collecting rocks wherever she can get her hands on them. She makes up songs about the things around her. For instance, at dinner last night, she was singing, "Anna's got apple juice and a straaaaaw, and peanut butter and Silvia spit up the miiiiiiiilllk, and Daddy's got the remooooote controllllll...".

Silvia's got her first cold, poor baby. She's miserable and stuffy, but the pediatrician says it's just congestion and she'll hopefully be better soon. She was 10 pounds, 13 ounces when the checked her, she's growing so fast!

Charlotte over at Trystan Photography took some wonderful pictures for us again, I'll try to get some posted this week. You can also view them in the galleries on their website, here.

ah yes. anna is definitely a sweetie pie between the screaming fits. and mamma megan sounds so very cheerful and on top of things you would hardly believe that she's getting by on three or four 45 minute snatches of sleep a day - make that a day and a night! hang in there, girls, this too will pass.

p.s. Can daddy use the "remooooote controllllll..." to make Silvia -stop- spitting up the miiiiilllk?
Enquiring minds want to know.

OMG! I love the pictures. Charlotte does a great job! I think we need to do some professional pics. Love the one of Silvia DSC_0260 and the one of Anna with her hand on her forehead like, doh!

What adorable girls. I can hardly believe you have the energy to get everyone ready for these pictures. I so admire you for doing this. I have yet to venture out with such a project. You have inspired me. The pictures are so adorable.
