when ees-nano was just 1.5 weeks old, sierra came over to our house to visit her.  i can’t remember where i was, but i wasn’t home — so i didn’t get to see her.    sierra lives far away (southern california), so i don’t get to see her very often.  lucky for me, she was in town this weekend and she came over to visit.  and  guess what!  sierra has a baby sister now, too

sierra and i both take good care of our baby sisters.  and we realized today that one of the most important jobs that we have as older siblings is holding up our baby sisters for  photographs

sierra’s baby is sofia.  sofia mostly hung out with auntie jo and uncle dave (her parents).  ees-nano mostly hung out with mommy and dada.  that freed up sierra and me from our big sib duties to just hang out and play!  sierra is such a fun playmate.  we had a tea party with ees-nano’s toy tea set.  we played a game of one-on-one with my basketball hoop.  and we took turns jumping up high to grab the ribbon dangling from the helium balloon on the ceiling.  i wish sierra would move back to the bay area so i can play with her all the time!

did you notice that ees-nano’s name (sienna) is spelled almost the same as sierra’s?  and did you notice that they are wearing almost-matching outfits?  i have a feeling that when ees-nano gets a little bit older, she is going to look up to sierra like the big sister she’ll never have.
