Enjoying her New Role as Big Sister

Kinsey is officially a big sister and she's loving it! Winnie Ann made her debut into the world 2 weeks ago on September 4th at 12:48 am. She came quickly (we got to the hospital at 11 pm and I wasn't even sure I was having real contractions since I'd had so many braxton hicks, but she was born less than 2 hours later). Winnie is amazing and doing great!

Kinsey got to meet her little sister later that morning at the hospital and she was instantly in love! She really wants to play with her - constantly trying to hold her hand or give toys to her. She loves to sit and "hold" her, always comes with me into Winnie's nursery to watch me change her diaper, has helped to feed her a bottle and is very curious when I'm feeding her. She gets excited every morning when she sees her again (yes, she's still here!).  I sent a picture to school and the teachers said Kinsey was all excited when they shared it with the other kids at circle time and she was so proud to show her off when I came to pick her up from school with Winnie earlier this week.

She's adjusted well and hasn't been very jealous, although we have seen her get a little upset when she can't get my attention on a few occasions. The hardest part is stopping her from getting into trouble when I'm busy feeding Winnie and can't really get up. But I think we'll both get better at that - sometimes she listens well and I'm sure in time I"ll be able to multi-task through feedings.

Anyway, here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks: https://winnieann.shutterfly.com/pictures
