Mila Meets Her Little Sister!

We brought Emmy home today!! We were so excited for her to meet her big sister! We'd been away from Mila for the last couple of days and she'd been staying with Jorge's sister Blanca and my mom at our place. I was so happy to see my little girl again! I'd never been away from her overnight before and I was nervous she'd have a hard time, but she seemed to have done well.

Leading up to the birth, we'd been telling Mila about the baby and that she would soon be a big sister. We'd heard how stressful the change can be for a child to suddenly have a new baby in the house so we tried to tell her about it as much as possible. We'd gotten her a book about it in spanish, "Soy Una Hermana Mayor!" which Mia looooves and makes us read it to her over and over again. Our intention was to prepare her as much as possible for Emmy's arrival and hope for the best! And it seemed to have worked well - Mila seemed both curious and excited about her little sister. She kept looking at her and expressing concern to straighten Emmys head if it drooped to one side - so sweet! I think she thought Emmy was a doll, LOL!

The car ride home... look at those little legs!

Me and my Mila! How I missed her!
