thursday

esther has several hand-me-down christmas outfits from friends at church. i just love babies in holiday garb!

 last night matt and eli made a strawbery cake.

 his morning they iced it then ate some for breakfast :)

 the boy LOVES to cook and was very proud of "his" cake. it was delicious by the way.

 and this is how esther spent 90% of her morning. it was this or screaming baby. when she's in the wrap i am able to get some chores done and take the boys outside to play.

i'm currently holding her again...and typing one handed :)

tuesday

this is esther's favorite place to nap- on the kitchen counter in the baby seat. i'm certainly not complaining because wherever a 4 week old baby will sleep for 1 to 2 hours at a time is okay by me! plus it's an easy place for me to keep an eye on her :)

 oh and she insists on sleeping all mushed up sideways with 50 katrillion blankets on top (ok, really only 3).  isn't she a sweetie!!

and this is eli's absolute favorite game of the moment- pillow fight. he calls it fightpillow and now sleeps with "his" pillow fight pillow. isaac likes the game just fair and mostly plays so he can jump on daddy.

esther sleeps, boys play

please excuse the unmade bed, i have a two week old and two toddlers for crying out loud. (okay, really the bed is never made) but the sweetness outweighs all. love.
