The Seffens Family Blog: Being a Big Sister is soooooooo much FUN!!!!!!

It is a hard adjustment when you get a little brother or sister and they require a lot of mommy and daddy's time. So we had planned for Scott to take the week off of school when Brianne arrived and do lots of fun family activities (mostly those that revolved around Brooke and spending time with our new family). We had such an amazing week and we are soooo proud of Brooke and her positive and loving attitude about being a big sister. She is so excited and truly loves her little sister. We catch her telling Bri that she is "so beautiful" , how much "she loves her", how proud she is of her. It is adorable! Here are some of the things we did this week: Visited the Jelly Belly store, Went for walks, Went to a speciality cookie store and each picked our favorite cookie, visited the Sac Zoo, and spent lots of time loving and cuddling!

Brooke loves to "play" with Bri. If we are holding Bri or she is in the swing or papasan, Brooke will move her activity over to where we are and tell us that she is "playing" with Brianne-too cute!

Brooke has been talking about going to the zoo, so we took advantage of the nice weather and headed to the Sacramento Zoo! Brooke loved it!!!! She knew so many of the animals and liked that sometimes they were sleeping and then we would go back and they would be awake. She told me her favorite part of the day was riding the train and seeing Diego's baby Jaguar.

Look Brooke and Bri are Kangaroos!

A baby Jaguar just like on Go Diego Go!!!

We live about 2 miles from the Jelly Belly store and Brooke has become such a huge fan of them we decided to take a stroll down to the store and pick out some treats. Brooke loved making her own bag of her favorite color jelly belly treats!
