Robby and I are so proud of Kate. She is taking her role as a new big sister very seriously, and she is willing to do almost anything for baby Caroline--including share her Mama and Dada (which is not an easy thing to do when you are two and a half years old!).
Kate loves to point out that, "sister is tiny, and Kate is yittle." Kate is against the whole idea of being a "big girl." I can't say I really blame her--after all you are only "yittle" once! :)
Kate sings Caroline lots of songs, and wants us to drop everything and soothe baby sister if she starts to cry (even if we were playing with Kate at the time!). Kate also makes sure that Caroline only wears Cookie Monster diapers, because those are obviously far superior to the diapers with Big Bird and Elmo on them. We have to save those diapers for when Kate is sleeping!;)
We love our little helper, and we are so proud of how well she is loving her baby sister.
Oh, and in addition to sharing her Mama and Dada...Kate has also shared her good looks with her baby sister. I am not sure how I am going to tell their baby pictures apart!!

Looking in at Caroline when we first brought her home
Caroline planned a "big sister party" for Kate...complete with plastic animals, of course!;)
Gigi and Lisee helped us celebrate Caroline coming home from the hospital and enjoyed Kate's big sister party!
Kate has been practicing on her big sister skills on her own baby Caroline
She is also willing to keep Caroline company on her play mat...I think Caroline was actually sleeping in this picture, but Kate was enjoying it!

And now for our little look a likes...
Here is Kate at two weeks...
Thank you, Kate, for loving your baby sister so well!
