Yes, if that's a semicolon after "baby" it's correct.

Well, it sounds like your little sister is a big "baby"; she cries all the time!
To correctly punctuate the sentence, you can make the following changes:
"My little sister is a big baby: she cries all the time."
To correct the punctuation in the given sentence, you would need to add a comma before the phrase "big baby" to separate it from the rest of the sentence. The corrected sentence would be:
"My little sister is a big baby; she cries all the time."
This use of a semicolon is appropriate here because it connects two independent clauses that are closely related in meaning. The semicolon shows a stronger relationship between the two ideas than a period would.
