Aww, how lovely that Heather is interested in her little sister, and
wants to help out.
Yes, make the recording! What a great idea, and it serves as
alternative to pictures.
I have been thinking I should do the same, so I won't forget what they
were like at this age. My twins are ten weeks old, and already, I can
tell their voices apart. They have such different personalities too;
it's very interesting.

I would love that! :-) Nadia too stepped into her role very nicely, she was
2 years and 9 months old. I put the baby's diapers in a place where Nadia
could reach them and that was one of her jobs, to bring me diapers for the
baby. She would sing to her too. We did have some jealousy now and then, but
over all she enjoyed having the baby around. She still loves being a big
sister, she has been teaching Niki her shapes and colors, just for fun, it
is so cute. Not to say they don't fight too, but I love it when they
interact and play together. :-) The first few months can be hard as baby
works out sleep and all, I had to stagger bedtime and work out nap/quiet
times. :-) Enjoy.

Desiree: Heather will be three years old on May 13th, so that's the
difference in age. I must say that she's stepping into the role of big
sister very, very well. She loves and adores her little sister and always
wants to hold her. I keep trying to explain to her that since the baby
can't talk yet, all she can do to tell us something is wrong or that she
wants something is to cry. It doesn't necessarily mean the baby is sad. I
think she is starting to get it. She loves to help, so we try to give her
little jobs to do that make her feel important and needed. Perhaps, if
anyone is interested, I could make and share a recording of the four of us
just hanging out so you can hear how sweet they are together and what they
sound like.

Aww huge congratulations to your family. :-) how far apart are the kids? It
is fun and interesting having them 2 1/2 years or so apart. :-) My little
girls are starting to play together a lot more now that the youngest is
too. :-) It is a lot of work but very rewarding.

I just wanted to inform everyone on list that there is a new addition to our
family as of today. Naomi was born at 5:18 p.m. local time, weighing in at
7 lb. 12 oz. and 18 inches long. Labor was only about 4 hours as apposed to
17 with the first baby, and there was no eppiderral. Mommy came through
like a champ, and had her Mom and best friend there to help her through it.
I am back at home with Heather and will return to the hospital to see the
new baby and Mommy again tomorrow. So, II may not be around much for a
while. Hope everyone else is doing well and enjoying some good food.
