Late in May, Mommy told me one day that I was going to spend the day with her friends Kathy and Dave, because she had to go to the hospital. Little did I know what I had in store for me!

On May 20th, my sister Maria was born. I call her "Baby Ria"

I was a little sad that Mom was gone, but Grandma and Auntie Margie took good care of me. The next day they brought me to the hospital to see Mom and Maria. The bed made a really cool garbage truck!

Mom also had a really cool cup, that I wanted to see, and now I had to share Dad's lap with Maria.

Maria got a beautiful quilt, just like my baby quilt, from Great-aunt Annette. She was nice enough to share it with me for naptime one day. I'm learning to share -- but it's hard some days to share Mom and Dad!

But, I like to talk to Maria, even if she cries a lot!
