Big sister Annabel still loves to hug and kiss her sister, but is a little upset at mommy right now for not being able to pay her as much attention as she used to, which has manifested itself into some very devious behavior. And the baby's crying, which admittedly is quite loud (no newborn whimpers here) supposedly wake her up so she's been up at the crack of dawn. Annabel is still trying to understand why the baby is so (frankly) incompetent...like why we have to support her head and why she can't crawl.
This transition is difficult on her more than any of us, I think. I'm trying to see things from her perspective but maintain some reasonable boundaries. I hear myself saying "no, don't do..." and "no, we can't..." and "stop that..." an awful lot which bums me out too. It is a learning process for me too.
In the meantime we're trying to enjoy little J while she's still little.
