Playing Big Sister

We had the opportunity to babysit Cambria for a short weekend when Jen and Adam took some time to themselves. It was fun to get a preview of how Elizabeth will respond to her own baby sister.
She constantly wanted to help with the baby, would bring diapers over whenever I mentioned that Cambria needed a change, and would always ask to pick up, carry or hold the baby. Of course I would not let her pick her up or carry her, but she was granted the privilege of holding her. Even though she enjoyed it immensely, every time I tried to capture a picture of her holding the baby, she looked terrified or tortured. I think she was just concentrating deeply on the task at hand.









Here is a video of Elizabeth feeding Cambria. I love the singing that Cambria does while she is eating. And she remains patient with Elizabeth, even through the complicated task of keeping the bottle positioned right.
