Allie meets Emmie

Grandma took Allie in to see her little sister for the first time today. I got most of it on video tape. Allie didn't know what to make of her at first. She didn't give the response we are used to when holding another baby, or child: jealousy. She was curious at first and afraid to touch. After spending a little time to figure things out, she started touching her really quickly and pulling back her hand right after touching her. First she touched her on the forehead. Then we opened the blanket and Allie put her hand on Emmie's feet quickly and snapped them back. She turned it into a game you could say. Allie wasn't very understanding though about the fact that her mom wasn't picking her up. That she just has to live with for the time being. Allie was brought to the hospital by Grandma K. Auntie Melissa and Yolonda & Tom dropped by for a visit too. They got to hold both of my little girls and did fine. Allie had reached out for them initially.
