Big Brother

Today I am a big brother. Well, I guess technically yesterday I became a big brother, but you get the idea. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. On Tuesday morning I was so excited I went outside and picked this flower for Baby Sofia and brought it to mommy. She was so happy she made me take this ridiculous picture.

Anyway, Tuesday night I went to Abuela and Gramps' house to spend the night because mommy and daddy had to be at the hospital really early. The next time I saw them, Baby Sofia had arrived.

The first thing I did was climb into bed with mommy and make sure she was ok, then I demanded to hold MY baby. I gave her lots of kisses and told everyone I loved her. Look at what a nice family we make.

I know I don't look that thrilled in this picture, but I really was. It's just we had taken this picture about 15 times and this was the closest we could get to everyone looking at the camera and/or smiling, or not screaming (Sofia). Anyway, I'm pretty excited my baby sister is here. Isn't she the sweetest?

Eventually I left to go do some big brother/big boy stuff. You see, since I found out that I was going to be a big brother, I've been doing a lot of changing and growing up to get ready so I could be more of a help. First thing I did was move into a big boy bed. I've donated my baby bed to Sofia. I think she needs it more than I do. So, I helped Daddy put my new trundle bed together. That was a lot of fun.

Then mommy put this really cool red tent on my bed for me to sleep in. The bed used to be daddy's and the tent was mommy's, so that makes it all pretty special. I have to say, I'm pretty impressed that these artifacts invented back when dinosaurs roamed the earth are still in such good condition. It's pretty cool having such vintage/antique items all for me.

The last big change that's happened in the last few months is I've conquered the potty.

That's right, those are big boy pants, and my massive muscles, that I'm showing off there. I've had this trick down pat for a while now too, which everyone seems to think is pretty cool. It is kind of cool to have a potty all my own.

Anyway, I have to get back to some prep work for Sofia and Mommy's return home tomorrow. I'll be back on the blog soon.
