If you’ve been around this blog long enough, you have deduced by now that I am probably a little obsessed with my niece, Bailee. It’s ok. I’ve come to terms with it, and I’m pretty sure she digs it anyway, so there’s nothing to fix. This week, Bailee became a big sister. We’re all (as you know) very excited about that… but I have to tell you something I really didn’t expect.
I knew Bailee would be a great big sister. I knew that she would welcome Miles with open arms and would be very excited about him. That’s just the kind of kid she is. What I didn’t anticipate was that she would, well, LOVE him so much. You always expect a little nugget her age to have some sort of resentment, anger, jealousy, something. But there’s none. There’s just not. She loves her little brother in a way that I didn’t even think was possible… though, if anyone would pull off such sweetness, it would be our BooBoo. She’s just that way.
B, if you grow up & read this someday (probably next year at the rate you’re going), I want you to know that watching you over the past week has more than impressed me. You’ve baffled me, little girl. You are the world’s best big sister and your TahTah couldn’t be more proud of you. Here’s a big ol’ bunch of snapshots I took this week… they’re not portraits, like we usually do, these are just you, how you were. In these moments. I love you to the moon and back.
Will you take pictures of me, blog about me and tell how I ever so impress you? That was the sweetest post! Miss B is very lucky to have you as her Tah Tah!
