Tay

I have been watching Krista and Justin's baby, Kate, in the mornings for about a month now. It has gone easier than I expected, as far as Madison is concerned. Kate is a pretty easy baby to take care of and has been very happy while over here. I was worried Madison would be jealous when I would feed Kate or try to rock her to sleep, but Madison LOVES Kate!! She gets sooo excited when she is here, when she sees her she's almost hyperventilating saying "tay, tay, tay,tay".... or "tate, tate, tate".



One time I let Kate lay in the boppy for a little bit, until she got sick of it. I fed her her bottle, she started to fuss just a little. Madison picked up the boppy and brought it over to me, by my feet and reached up like she wanted to take Kate and lay her in the boppy. I thought it was pretty stinkin cute!! Over Thanksgiving Madison played with a doll at my grandma's house - it was pretty close in size to Kate and we wondered if we should let her play with it .. but we did. Last week when Kate started crying Madison walked over and put her arms around Kate's waist and tried to pick her up; unsuccessfully Krista!!! ;) So I said if she sat down she could hold Kate for a second. This is what we got: (I promise I'm careful, we only did this once)


Madison is loving it; looks like Kate not so much. I think she's saying get this girl away form me, she's too wild for me right now!.



Kate is going for her escape, but Madison is holding on!



Look how excited she was that she got to hold Kate. Think she'll be a good big sister someday?!?
