BRB, Crying: Audrey Roloff Says Daughter Ember ‘Just Wants to Hold and Kiss’ Her New Cousin Lilah
They’re already best friends! Tori Roloff’s hospital room has been packed with visitors ever since she and Zach Roloff welcomed their second child, Lilah Ray, on Tuesday, November 19. Their sister-in-law Audrey Roloff stopped by for a visit with her daughter Ember on Thursday, November 21, and the videos of the cousins meeting are absolutely darling.
The 2-year-old looked so curious as her mother held the newborn for the first time. “Got to meet my precious niece Lilah last night,” the Little People, Big World star, 28, wrote on the video with a heart eyes emoji. “Congrats @zroloff07 and @toriroloff. We love her so much already.”
As Audrey rocked the baby, Ember went in to give her a little hug. “Ember just wants to hold and kiss her so much already,” the red-haired beauty wrote. She also shared a photo of Ember introducing Lilah to some of her favorite dolls.
Tori, also 28, announced her new addition had arrived on Thursday, November 21. “Lilah Ray Roloff. Born on November 19th at 6:52 p.m. 8 pounds 9 ounces. 18 1/2 inches long,” she wrote on Instagram. “Welcome to the family sweet baby girl!”
Friends and family were elated by the news. “SHE IS PERFECT we love her so much already,” Audrey commented on the snap, while Isabel Rock wrote, “Uncle Jacob and aunt Izzy love her so much already.”
Like her big brother and father, Lilah is also a little person. Zach’s mom, Amy Roloff, shared the news in a now-deleted Facebook Live video. Tori and Zach, 29, have yet to confirm or deny Amy’s statement, although the answer doesn’t really matter to them. The parents told fans in July they decided not to find out whether their daughter had dwarfism.
“Everyone keeps asking after seeing the ultrasound of baby girl if she is a little person or average height, and the answer is we don’t know, and we won’t know until she’s born,” the mom of two said at the time. “[You] can find out through an amniotic draw if you’re having a dwarf or not, but Zach and I opted out of that just because we don’t care either way. We also just don’t have a lot of risk involved with it … We love her and we can’t wait to meet her.”
We are so happy for the Roloff family and can’t wait to watch Ember and Lilah grow up together.
