welcome to the family

(sweet ruby,

all i can say is that i am doing my best to teach your sister to be gentle...

but she's a lover, just like her momma.)

my daughter likes to hug her new baby sister.

so far, no bruises, just some smashed newborn body parts here and there.

so, it all starts innocently with, "mommy, roro hold baby ruby"

she points out baby ruby's body parts...

and then goes in for the lovin'

a little closer

ruby begins to look kind of stressed

but is powerless to her big sister's 2 year old strength

finally, i intervene since ruby is completely smashed up

little m, happy as can be and oblivious to her poor sister's distress

apparently the pain isn't too bad because seconds later ruby is ready for a nap
