Bumpin' Knuckles

Adilyn wasn't too sure what to think of her new sister in the hospital. I think her facial expression in this picture says it all. She didn't really acknowledge her, and she was happy still being cute and being the center of attention for Mimi, Pops, and Nammie. Once we got home, she was pretty good for the most part except for when I was feeding Kacy. I think she knew that that was the one time that I couldn't do anything for her. Pops and Mimi were great distractors for those first few days. After a couple days, Adilyn would look at her and laugh if she moved or made a funny noise. She tells us everytime she is "frying" (that means "crying"), and she likes to try to give her kisses. Things are going really well so far. I was really concerned about how she would adjust. Here are some funny stories of things that she has said or done in the first week of Kacy's life...I'm sure there will be many more to come!

*She looked at Kacy's toes and said, "Mama, little toes." Then, she looked at her toes and said, "Mama, big toes."

*She wanted me to hold her when I was holding Kacy and said, "Mama, hold Adilyn. Swing, hold Kacy." She wanted me to put Kacy in the swing.

*When she wanted to hold her the first time she said, "Mama, hold it?" It = Kacy.

*One time when she was holding her, she wanted to go get a blanket and she just jumped up - luckily I was holding Kacy's head.

*I looked over at her this morning, and she was draping Kacy's blanket over her super gently in the swing, just like I do.

*We were watching Mickey Mouse, and she was holding her baby in exactly the same position I was holding Kacy.

And my favorite...

*She "punched" Kacy in the belly ever so soft, but I still said, "Don't hit your sister." pretty firmly. She looked at me with a hurt look on her face and said, "Mama, bump knuckles." She was bumping Kacy's knuckles (like giving her a high-five with her fist) because Kacy's hands were clinched in a fist. :) So sweet...

I love watching my two sweet babies interact. I can't wait for the lifetime of fun times and cute stories ahead of us. Believe me, I am in no way blind to the fact that these two little girls are going to fight like crazy sometimes, but I still can't wait for all that there is to come for us. I feel so lucky and blessed to have such an amazing little family.
