Yesterday we sat down with Annie to discuss her feelings about becoming a big sister.
Turns out she has A LOT to say on the subject.
Kayla says:
I think I just almost literally DIED of cuteness overload! Oh! My! GOD! That kid sure knows how to put on the charm! I think I’ll probably watch this video a million times now – love her!!
Luna says:
Aaaaawe , she’s so cute too!! Best.Kiddo.Ever
Vic says:
OK, I hope this does NOT come across creepy, but I. WANT. ANNIE. I’ve even for a little baby for her to hold too!! Please her her our way!!
She is cute beyond belief!!
Jen says:
That was quite possibly the cutest thing I have ever seen. Annie rules!!! I want one just like her
Connie says:
She is too cute for words. She will be a great big sister to tiny baby Elmo.
TonyaM says:
I can’t take the cuteness!!!!!!!
P.S. I think your Elmo is a boy.
Mommy says:
Definitely a boy! And he will love the name Elmo.
Tracy says:
Adorable! I had tears in my eyes when she said “I love you baby.” She’s going to be a great big sister! “Elmo” and “Princess Brother” – hahaha!
kim says:
she is adorable!!!
Meyli says:
OMG she is so thoughtful! Saying I love you, changing ALL the diapers, not wanting to make the baby fall….. AH so sweet
sue says:
This is the absolute cutest conversation ever!!!!!! AND,,,gosh,,,,,, is she ever smart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Expat Mom says:
That’s hilarious! My boys were 4 and 5 when I was pregnant with this last baby and we asked them what his name should be. They took it very seriously and thought we were leaving it up to them. They wanted to name him Loopy Peace! In the end we convinced the kids to name the dog that and the baby was named Dominic Cruz.
Elizabeth says:
She is so cute!! She will be an amazing big sister. Now it’s the suspense to find out if baby is a boy or girl
Stacy says:
Oh my word, how ADORABLE!!!! I love it! Good luck with the diaper thing, though
Jules says:
I have to say I have been a fan of all of the Annie movies…however this is by far my favourite one she has done! What an awesome big sister already
Editdebs says:
I love her! Thanks for sharing this–made my day.
Melli says:
Thanks, Annie. You really cheered up this hurricane sandy survivor. Thank you
shan says:
This was so deliciously sweet, it brought tears to my eyes. What a great video..I almost said for both your girls. Annie has me thinking it’s gonna be a girl!!
Lanie says:
Annie is adorable!! She is going to be a great big sister.
Thinking about you all extra this weekend. Sending hugs and hope. Take care. xo
Melissa says:
I have melted into a puddle from the cuteness. That is all.
Kim says:
Oh my, this just made my morning! Thanks for sharing these memories with all of us
alimartell says:
My favorite is the look on her face as she thinks about her answers. She’s divine, I can’t really handle it.
KP says:
Oh my god, I LOVE how she reacts to new information, like the fact that the baby won’t be able to walk yet. The big eyes and high-pitched “ohhh” as she sits back and thinks it over. You can tell she soaks up new ideas like a sponge. Annie’s going to be a rocking big sister.
Nellie says:
Ohh, so precious and I just want to eat her up!!!
Lots of love, great health, and blessings to you and your family.
Stacy says:
Cutest big sister ever!!! Annie is going to rock it! So sweet! I adore her!
Jen says:
This was way too cute! Annie seems so excited for the baby!
And clearly, you guys make beautiful babies!
Jan says:
Oh, guys, the Cuteness and Sweetness is on overload! She definitely has ideas about what to do with her baby brother/sister! She will make a Super Sibling!! GAH!!!
Glenda says:
Omg!!! Annie cuteness overload!!! Love!!!
I think Annie picked out baby’s nickname = Elmo just like Annie was Binky
Have a good weekend!
Angela says:
Elmo Spohr, Princess Brother!
PattyB says:
Oh my gosh! Annie is so freaking adorable! This was one of the cutest posts of her ever. Now, you’re going to have to play that back after the baby comes, to see if her predictions of what she will say ring true.
Jena Healy says:
So stinking cute!!!!!!
Desera says:
This is the cutest thing I have ever seen! She is so incredibly smart and beautiful! Love her thoughtfulness before she answers!
Lisa F. says:
Definitely in the top 5 of my favorite Annabel videos EVER.

Annie is going to be an awesome big sister, you can just tell! You both are doing amazing with her; she is just precious.
Tara says:
Oh My Gah! What a doll!

I LOVE Annie. She’s hilarious!

“Tiny eyes” almost put me into cardiac arrest – toooooo funny! That baby better have some tiny eyes!

Both for the new baby, and also because you have a video record of Annie agreeing to change ALL the diapers!
Janet says:

Debbie in the UK says:
Holy crap! Your pregnant??? Many congratulations !!! I am delighted for you xx and why does the comments moderator insist I have made these comments before???
Colleen says:
She is so adorable! I loved seeing her mind spin when Mike tells her the baby won’t be able to walk.
Shauna says:
Are you kidding me with this?! I don’t think there is a word for how cute this is. I am not the type to usually care to watch videos of other peoples’ kids, but I have yet to miss an Annie video because that girl can lay on the charm! Not that you don’t have your hands full now, but omg, the teenage years with this girl are going to be awesome/terrifying I was actually laughing out loud when she said she was going to hold the baby with a HAND, ahhh! And, “I love you baby”?! How do you handle all that cuteness?!
Nikki says:
OH for the love of cuteness! SOOOO CUTE!
expecting#3 says:
Incredible, fantastic cuteness! Love it.
Beth says:
This just totally made my day! Annie is adorable, and she is going to be such a great big sister!
Nikki says:
Loooooooooove.
Love.
Lindsey Reese says:
If you guys charged for every smile, laugh and tear you elicit from your readers, you would be millionaires!! I sat here smiling from ear to ear at that little darling!! Her sister/brother will be so lucky to have sweet Annie as her/his sister!!
mary ann says:
Lo ve her! Can’t wait to see the new baby – I hope she gets the sister she’s dreaming of.
Annalisa says:
Between yesterday’s “Princess Brother” and today’s “Elmo”, I’m worried for that baby if it turns out to be a boy!
(Just kidding. I know you guys would not let Annie name him!)
Mommy says:
This is not only adorable but really shows how smart and articulate your little Annie is! Seriously her language is AMAZING for not even being 3!
She is beyond cute! Get that girl an agent already!!!
Amanda says:
So so so adorable- My heart is now a melted puddle from the adorable!
Yana says:
Awwww… I hate to say so, but some kids are just waaaaaay cuter than others ;)))
(And I must know, I’m a pediatrician ;))
casie says:
If you didn’t tear up when she says, “I love you baby.”, you have no heart, no soul! ha. That was beyond adorable. She will be the best big sister.
Kirsten says:
She. Is. So. CUTE!
I love how wide her vocabulary is, and she has such clear speech! Wow! You guys are great parents.
Leslie K says:
Oh, how precious! She’s going to be a wonderful big sister!
Lora says:
Elmo!!!!!
Seriously though, she is AMAZING! I can’t wait to see her loving on her new sibling!
Lindsay says:
Can this baby’s nickname PLEASE be Princess Elmo on the blog?!?! =)
So very excited for your family.
Em says:
She is amazing! I loved her expressions when she was thinking of things, also the impression of the baby crying, and giving it a pacifier! She is adorable and is going to make an awesome big sister!!
Mommy Boots says:
Are you kidding me with this cute?! Cannot stand it!
Auntie_M says:
And then there were 3 cutie pies!!! I can’t wait!!!
Oh my goodness!!! Annie is too cute for words talking about her baby! She knows a lot of good things: that they cry, that you give them a pacifier…the not walking thing was a bit of a bummer, but she handled it well & was ready to lend a helping hand. And how sweet that she wants to be careful & not accidentally hurt the baby?!?! I just love her! I can’t wait to see her giving her baby kisses & making the baby laugh. And I especially can’t wait for the video footage of her changing a poopy diaper! LOL
Leslie says:
I am just thinking of you all today…enjoy your cream puffs!
giselle says:
Annie is SO cute! And funny! I love her personality so much. She’s going to be a great sister and so much fun. Her little sibling is going to ADORE her. And I know this is a tough tough weekend for you guys, so hang in there and remember that you will make it through – you always have. Lots of love!
Christine says:
Thinking of you guys today! Happy Birthday Madeline.
Lanie says:
Annie is adorable! Thinking of you all extra today. I wish i had magic words to make the day easier but i dont think they exist. Birthdays are so hard. Sending hope and hugs! take care. xo
Jessica says:
Oh my gosh adorable and I think if she’s going to change diapers then it’s only fair that you name the baby Elmo as she requested :).
Jessica says:
Oh and today is the 11th, I always remember because it is one month after my daughter’s. Thinking of you and sending hugs.
cj says:
annie is darling! love the video. wanted to check in today to say that i’m thinking of and praying for your family.
Michelle says:
Thinking of your family today, on sweet Madeline’s birthday. She should be here with you, celebrating being a 5 year old, and it is not fair. I feel so angry at the universe for taking Maddie away from you. I’m still amazed at the impact she and your family has had on me. My children all “know” Madeline and still talk about her, and are always asking to see the new Amazing Annabel videos (and still sing “I don’t know what to be on Halloween” all.the.time.) I’m not much of a blog reader/follower, but I’ve read yours daily now for almost 4 years. Thank you for sharing yourselves with the world. I hope that you found some happiness today, in remembering your precious little girl, and at least the tiniest amount of comfort knowing how many of us are grieving her loss along with you.
Lauren says:
Happy Birthday Sweet Maddie! You are so loved and we all miss you very much!! You will live in our hearts forever
Lots of Love,
Lauren
Michelle says:
Thinking of you today as I will every year for the rest of my life sharing my birthday with your beautiful girl. I hung a special purple ornament on my red and gold Christmas tree that I decorated with my boys today and thought of you and Miss Maddie and the unfairness of it all. I think that purple ornament will be around as long as I am too. I will never forget. Hugs to you and squeeze Annie extra tight today. She is going to rock the big sister thing….
