Week 2

I suppose Elijah gets his taking way too many photos habit from his mother. But Claire makes such a sweet subject. :) (Elijah's photography subjects tend more towards blocks, lincoln logs, and his siblings.)

 

After our quiet week as a family, Dustin headed back to work and I had my first solo week with three kids and lots of help--Dustin got up with the boys every morning, friends brought meals, family came and played, and I borrowed friends' kids to entertain the boys. 10-14 year olds make awesome helpers! And playdates with five year olds are easy to supervise. The boys had things to do and Claire and I got to stay home--win-win for all.

 

Claire continued to eat and sleep her way through life. Sweet child only wakes 1-2 times a night. Her favorite spot is to be attached to me in the baby carrier.

Transferring pictures is more interesting now that the camera is shared; this is satellite

Josiah likes to gaze very closely into her eyes

Elijah likes to take close-ups of her
