You are looking at Eli's 3rd new hobby: holding brother. Twice today he held his hands up to Isaac so he could hold the baby. I'm trying to encourage brotherly love, so of course if he asks, I try to let him. :)
This evening Eli "asked" to sit in the big chair then held his hands up so he could hold the baby. He then proceeded to lean back so we could put Isaac on him; he then talked to him, leaned in to give Isaac a hug, and patted his head. SUPER CUTE!
Also, Isaac started to smile yesterday! When we talk to him or smile at him he looks up at us and smiles!
-------------------------------------------So tonight Isaac was tired and already swaddled for bed when it was time to eat dinner. Matt put him in his seat (as you can see) where he laid quietly while we ate. About half way thru dinner I said to Matt- wouldn't it be funny if Isaac just drifted off to sleep right here.
Yup, that's what he did!! LOVE having a baby with inner-peace.

Such great pictures! Inner peace is awesome! Eli is so sweet holding his little brother! They both look so big!
ReplyDeleteSweet! They're both getting so big. And I HATE that we still haven't met Isaac. I barely recognize Eli anymore. Ugh! Yall are looking great. (Isn't two so much better than one?!) Children truly are a blessing.
ReplyDeleteCute, cute boys! If you haven't tried it yet, it's pretty handy to use the boppy to help big bro hold the baby. I would put the boppy on Cambree as she sat there, then I could lay Griffin in the crack between the boppy and Cambree, and she had her hands free to touch his toes, head, whatever. She always enjoyed "holding" Griffin like that, and he looked more comfortable then he did just draped across her lap.
