Vampire baby

Me: Annie, that is your hand. There is no breast milk in your hand.
Lucy: There's just blood! And you can't eat that unless you are a vampire. Oh! Are you a vampire baby?!

Dinosaurs & little sisters

Lucy: "Mom?"
Me: "Yes?"
Lucy: "I wish I could see a dinosaur someday."
Me: "Yeah, me too. That would be cool."
Lucy: "But if we ever see an Oviraptor or Tyrannosaurus Rex, we'd have to protect Annie because she's the smallest and the chubbiest and they'd want to eat her first."

Good to see she's already looking out for her sister.

Hiatus

Sorry to friends and family for the recent hiatus from updating the blog. We have a good reason! Annabel "Annie" Victoria was born on June 1. Here she is!
We've kept busy adjusting to life with two kids. Lucy is adjusting as well as a child who was the center of her family's attention for 4.5 years can. She loves her little sister, but is mad at her parents (sometimes I feel like she's just mad at me, her mother).

Upon arriving at the hospital to meet her sister, here's the conversation we had.
Me: This is your little sister, Annabel. But we'll call her Annie.
Lucy: Like Little Orphan Annie?
Me: Yes, except this Annie has parents. We're her parents.

 And so the sibling rivalry begins.
