Our friends Scott and April brought their beautiful newborn baby girl, Elizabeth, to visit us this weekend. She was wonderful, almost no fussing, and so very, very tiny. She is 8ish pounds and I had forgotten how little that is!
Simon has never seen a baby quite so small (only 2 weeks!) and had to spend some time getting used to her. He was not thrilled when Alan or I held Little Lizzy - reminding both of us that we were his mama/daddy - but we talked about it quite a bit and assured Simon that we would ALWAYS be his mama/daddy no matter who we were holding or what we were doing. Which might come back to haunt him when he becomes a teenager. He did like checking her out, and was really good about moving slowly around her and her toys. But he was definitely happiest when Scott or April was holding her. The rest of the weekend we have occasionally been reminded 'You MY mama.' or 'That MY daddy.'
