Emma Rose

My little sister was born on April 13, 2011
(4 years to the day after cousin Dylan...)



Mommy started saying "OUCH!" at about 7:30 at night on Tuesday.
I was a little concerned as she was putting me to bed that night,
and would ask, "Mommy hurt?"

Emma Rose was born at 12:23 am, just 2 hours after Mommy and Daddy got to the hospital.

They loved all 7 pounds 2 ounces and 19 3/4 inches of her right away.



She didn't cry much until she got her bath.

Mom found in the first couple days that like me, she doesn't cry much.
Unlike me, she really only cries when she's cold.

She looks a lot like me with her chubby cheeks and little chin.

Daddy says she's his little princess...

...and I knew why just as soon as I met her...

I was excited to touch the baby's eyes in the first few seconds we met
before I was off to explore the new trains that Grandma brought to the hospital for me to play with.



Isn't she perfect?

Grandma and Grandpa took me home for the night and when I got home the next day,

There was my new baby sister for me to meet!



I was very excited to "hold it..."



So for now, Emma Rose,



I think I'll let them keep you.
