from Ben
I have a new sister. That baby finally came out of Mom's tummy. She is a girl, which is a nice thing because I can still be Mom's favorite boy without a lot of trouble. She is really little, and she cries all the time. She also eats all the time.
Mom keeps telling me what a big boy I've been. I guess I realized I couldn't be the baby anymore and that maybe I should start showing how big I am. So I've started using more words and being less of a handful when Dad takes me out shopping. I also feel that being the big boy entitles me to make a few more decisions about my life. This has created some conflict. But with Mom always nursing Kyri, she can't stop me as well. Some times she really surprises me though and puts her down and then I quickly shape up.
This morning Mom came and got me out of bed like she used to do before the baby. And she brought me into bed with her and Dad and we snuggled. Kyri was sleeping in her little bed. After awhile she came in our bed too and the four of us all snuggled. I think I like being a big brother.

We have a new baby, too. She cries and eats a lot, but now she smiles too. Mama seems to think it's spectacular every time, but we think it's funnier when Mama makes her sing songs at us.
Just give her time, Ben. Eventually Kyri will get to be lots of fun. Stuart took his time, but now we play together all day long. Even though, when he was a baby, I used to clonk him on the head with toys so Mama would pay attention to me.

I can't wait to see how Ben is with his little sister. It sounds like he is already starting to grow up!
Ben, just don't get so grown up you don't cuddle anymore! Your mom will be so sad!
Congratulations! Kyrie is beautiful! Little CJ says he hopes to meet pretty Kyrie sometime in February when he goes to meet his new little cousin. =)
