Lillie and "Her Baby"

On the Wednesday we got the call that it might be just a matter of days before our new baby would come to join our home, I decided to give Josh and Lillie a heads up. I didn't want to go into any details and really wanted to try and protect their hearts in case the mom didn't sign. But at the same time I wanted them to be prepared for the idea of the baby being here soon. When I told Lillie the baby was coming soon she asked, "Mommy, is it going to be my baby?" I said, "Yes, sweetheart. It is going to be your baby." She asked, "Well, are you going to hold my baby?" So I tried to explain that we were all going to get a new baby- that she would be the big sister and I would be the mommy. Well, here we are a week after we brought Graham home and I'm pretty sure Lillie still thinks it's her baby! She loves holding him in her lap. She commentates on every little move he makes- "Oh, Mommy! He opened his eyes!" "Oh, look, he's stretching out his arms!" The girl is smitten. It's pretty sweet. The picture is from the outing we took to the new Cowboy stadium. I had bought the Groupon for the VIP tour back in June and gave it to Jason for father's day. We had a great time touring the new stadium together as a family. Josh and Jason ran around on the field together while Lillie and I went and checked out the cheerleaders' locker room!
