My big sister

Katya is such a good big sister. She comes along and says, "Me, Tony" and carries him off and we sometimes won't see them for quite a while. If Tony cries, she will drop whatever she is doing and run to him and you can hear her saying, "It's Oay, Tony" (until recently she couldn't pronounce her "K" sound). She watched me making him a bottle one day and asked me how to do it and now she will sometimes pronounce that he is hungry and go and make him a bottle (which he sometimes won't eat because he really isn't hungry!). She never tires of giving him kisses and hugs and she knows how to lay next to him and put her hand across the side of his face and put him to sleep. It's amazing that she is such a good big sister with so little experience. She seems to know what things you can and can't do with a baby - without being told. She even likes to change diapers. I'm sure that will change over time but for now, we will enjoy the extra diaper hand and hope that she continues to be the awesome sister that she is. She has a shirt that says, "My brother drives me bananas" and she gets a kick out of it (after we told her what it meant) - although nothing could be farther from the truth!
