My Boys Love Their Girl

Well, believe it or not so far things are great!  Of course we have only been on our own since yesterday, we had AMAZING grandparent help for the 2 weeks I was on light duty and no driving.

Sadie Jo has melted hearts around here!

Apparently Avery said he wanted a brother when Michael made his big announcement, but by the time she was getting her bath in the nursery he was proudly telling other guests "that's my girl, her name is Sadie Jo."

Avery is a great big brother!  He loves to help and hold Sadie.  He always wants to know where she is and what she might need.  Avery really loves that he gets to sit next to Sadie Jo in the car, however she might not love it so much.  Turns out Avery is a "messer" like his Aunt Linde, he and she love to just touch and poke and mess all under the guise of being sweet.  They mean well, but just don't get the whole let a sleeping baby lie concept.  :)  My favorite thing about Avery as the biggest brother is how proud he is to introduce his baby sister to others, he proudly shows her off, tells her name, and encourages people to be gentle to her.  So proud and protective!

Hanky does not lack in the big brother department either.  He might be new to the game, but he caught on very quickly.  He says baby Sadie in a punkin voice when he talks about his sister!  Hank has decided it is his responsibility to make sure Sadie Jo gets no less than 100 kisses a day.  He gives her at least 10 kisses any time he can reach her, preferably right on the lips!  Hanky also makes sure his baby sister has her lovey and gets great hugs.  I have a feeling he will be her go to guy when she has a hard day and needs a little TLC.

And of course little Miss has melted her daddy's heart.  I know you are shocked.  :)  One of the things that made me most happy was how happy Michael was to have a baby girl.  He loves his boys more than anything and they love him more than anything, but he has always had a soft spot for sweet baby girls.  I have watched him charm so many friends little girls, so now I love getting to see him with his own.  

And of course I am having a blast!  I love watching my boys love their girl!  I am also loving my baby girl, too.  We are having fun learning that baby girls stick out their bottom lips out really far when they cry, and that baby girls HATE to be cold, and that baby girls look good in bows in all sizes.

We are so thankful for our sweet Sadie Jo and everyone who has showered us with love, bows, skirts, meals, visits and help of all kinds!
