When Emrie Meet Aven

The next best thing to seeing my husband with our new daughter, was seeing our first daughter with her new sister!

I was very curious to see how Emrie would react to her new sister.  For a couple of months she had been pointing to my tummy and saying baby or sister {seeester}, but I am not sure she really knew what that meant.

An hour and a half after Aven was born, Nana and Papa brought the proud big sister in to meet her little sister for the first time.  I am not sure if it was seeing me in a hospital bed or if she had just woken up from a nap, but she seemed pretty reserved.  Phil held Aven and sat down in a chair.  He called Emrie over and she slowly and tentatively walked over to him.  She didn't say anything and she was looking back and forth between him and the baby.

Slowly she broke out in a huge grin and said, "HI BABY!"

That was all it took.  She was awestruck from there.  She wanted to kiss the baby and hold her and she was so gentle with her.

When they came back later that night to visit again, the nurse wheeled Aven in from the nursery and Emrie said, "My Baby?" and wanted to hold her.

Our first morning at home as a new family of four I walked into Aven's room to find this!

I could not be happier than when I see my girls together!!!
