Baby Trulee joins big brothers Ryker Mobley, 3½, and Takoda, 8½. And according to the new mom of three, her sons have already taken to their baby sister in the most adorable way.

“The boys were so sweet and tender, happy to each get a turn holding her,” Sara tells PEOPLE. “They both spoke in soft voices and treated her like the fragile little flower that she is. We are very proud of the love they displayed.”

Of her daughter‘s unique moniker, she adds, “Nanette is my middle name, and the meaning of it is ‘grace,’ so we felt connected to it.”
