Sisters

This is the first time that Lucy got to hold Nora after her birth.  Nora's NICU stay meant that Lucy couldn't meet her in the hospital.  During cold and flu seasons all kids younger than 12 years old are forbidden from going into the NICU.  We totally understood the reasoning for it, but it was hard on Lucy.  She could see Nora through a window for the first 4 days, but then Nora was moved to another room that did not have an observation window.  Lucy was very excited to get her hands on Nora.

I am so fascinated to see the sister dynamic between these two.  I don't have a sister so this is all new to me.  Let's hope they love and protect each other (and act as default travel buddies).  Honestly, the travel buddy thing is why I thought it really important that Lucy have a sibling.  When all your friends flake, you need a sibling to guilt into traveling with you.

We're two months in now and it is still so fun to see the two of them interact.  Lucy thinks all of Nora's bodily functions are the funniest.thing.ever.  Nora gazes at Lucy and "talks" to her. We'll see how things go once Nora is mobile and curious about all of Lucy's toys.
