Big Sister!

I stole this cartoon from one of our friend's blogs. SO true! We're totally in LOVE with our baby Ben!!
So far, McKenna has been such a sweet big sister! She loves to hold him, even if it is for 10 seconds or less. We've taught her NOT to push him off her lap when she's done, and she's doing very well staying away from his eyes, nose, and mouth. When she's done holding him, she says, "How 'bout mommy hold him." She parrots everything we say to him like, "I know..." and "He's a sweet boy."

Here's McKenna's first time seeing him! Just like Christmas morning! :)



SO happy!



Playing with his "tiny toes."
First day home
"Cheese!"

We also LOVE that my mom has been here! She's been oh so helpful being on "Kenna duty" and snuggling Ben lots!

Sharing her toys


More "sharing!"


McKenna's world has been totally turned upside down with a new house and new sibling back to back. But she still manages to be too cute to boot! This is her "pretty dress" (with footie jammies) from Gma Webster at Christmas.

(I've been trying to upload a video of McKenna holding Ben at the hospital, but it's not working. I'll try again later.)
