The girl assisted her mother with the birth when her mom when into early labor. She was talked through it by a 911 operator.

- At age 9, Jaidan Lujan is hardly more than a baby herself — but that didn’t stop the Sacramento, Calif., girl from helping deliver her own brother when her mother went into early labor.

- Jaidan cleaned Kai’rin’s head and massaged him as he pronounced his good health with a lusty cry. But the fourth-grader’s work wans’t done yet. There was still the issue of the umbilical cord to be dealt with.

“I had to tie off the umbilical cord 6 inches from Kai’rin’s belly button with my shoelace,” she told Roker in a matter-of-fact tone. “But I had to get it out of my shoes first.”
