Celebrating the Big Sister to Be!

Charlotte Ann,

Life is about to change for you. In bigger ways than your little mind can comprehend. Much bigger ways.

You are about to become a Big Sister to a baby girl, who we pray will become your closest companion, best friend, and partner in crime during your childhood years and for the rest of your lives. You will learn to love her, protect her, and rely on her over time.

But for right now, your world may feel like it's been turned upside down. You love babies...but when you realize that this one is here to stay, you may not be quite as thrilled as you are with our friends' babies who come and visit...and then go home.  When Momma's arms are constantly full (and a baby is literally attached to her most hours of the day) and Daddy suddenly has another "Daddy's girl," please know that you are no less important. In fact, your role as a Big Sister will only bring out your best qualities... you were born to be a leader of leaders, defender of the innocent, and bringer of freedom wherever you go. You will be able to put all of these into good practice while learning to care for your baby sister :)

Before the conversations turn to focus on this precious new baby who is about to enter our world, we want to celebrate who YOU are. Not just as a big sister, but as our first baby -- Momma's little Sunshine and Daddy's Munchkin. You are loved, cherished, and wanted more than ever!

You look like your Momma, but you are Daddy's Girl through and through! 


Curious and brave, you are an explorer who lives for adventure! 

Future President is not out of the realm of possibility! You love leading and delegating already- to your dogs, your stuffed animals, and your friends ; )

You LOVE being outside and have an innocent curiosity for the world around you. 

You are determined! You want to accomplish anything you set your mind to, no matter how long it takes. We love hearing you say, "Okay, I try again!!!" We aren't sure where your stubbornness comes from ; )  


You love to celebrate, dance, and sing. You are a joyful child full of LIFE!

Laughter fills our world when you are in it. 

Sooner born and bred, you already know to say "OOOOOOOO-U" during a football kickoff,
and you love sporting that Crimson and Cream :) 

Our tiny superhero, you are always looking out for others!
 (Halloween 2016 and only 2 weeks before Baby Sister's arrival! She was already a part of our family costume as the Wonder Baby : ) 

It has been so much fun watching your imagination unfold and your sense of humor develop.
You love making people laugh!


We literally love you to the moon and back ("more and more and more") and can't wait to celebrate you in your new role as a BIG sister!!!

Love,
Momma and Daddy (and that baby in Momma's belly ; )

Momma and Daddy's last date before Baby Sister's arrival!
