Best Big Sister...Ever!

I'm sure people will think we are a little biased, but trust me when I tell you Meredith is the best big sister ever!  Kyle and I are so proud of her.  We heard countless stories from family and friends about how the older child will rebel when the baby comes.  We have had the opposite happen. 

When Meredith first saw Charlotte in the hospital we knew everything would be great. She could not stop smiling when she saw her that first time.  Her cheeks were sore by the end of her visit!

Meredith is so sweet and loving with Charlotte.  She never tells me to put the baby down or make her stop crying.  In fact, when Charlotte cries Meredith runs to her to give her a hug and tell her she loves her.  She loves to hold her.  She is convinced that she should be allowed to walk around while she is holding Charlotte because she promises she won't drop her!  For now she has to settle for holding her while sitting down (I know, Kyle and I are crazy strict with our rules!).

Sometimes Meredith wants to hold Charlotte more than Charlotte wants to be held!

The best big sister thing Meredith does is share.  She even shared her movie player with her little sister!
