Everyone keeps asking me how Marley is adjusting to being a big sister, so I thought I'd share how things are going.
When we first came home from the hospital, Marley came over and looked at the baby for a minute...then went back to playing. Over the next few days she would stop next to the swing or the bouncy chair and just stare for awhile.
After being home 2 days she came over and did this all on her own, and my heart melted:
Marley is very into the song "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" so after I pointed out that Kenzie has eyes and ears she became more appealing.

So far we've only had one incident where Mackenzie needed to be rescued. Marley decided to throw a tantrum right next to the bouncy chair and landed on part of it as she was flopping to the floor. She gave her sister a good bounce, and Mackenzie flew a good 3 inches off the chair. She didn't cry, but her eyes got real big and her hands flew in the air.
Just in the last few days, Marley has started saying "aww, cute!" whenever she catches me unwrapping the baby. She also likes to grab Kenzie's hands and giggles hysterically when they start flailing around like a newborn.
Once Kenzie is awake more, I can tell these sisters will have a lot more interaction and become the best of friends. Can't wait!
