William's "special aunt"

Aunt Laura came to see us for almost a week. What fabulous help!! In this picture, she's been in my house for all of 30 minutes. I went upstairs to put William down for a nap as he was VERY grumpy & she managed to get the baby to sleep on her and then read Daniel a book. I thought very seriously about hopping a plane to ANYWHERE since she had it so under control ;-)

Another shot of her curled up with the baby. It's hard to tell because of the blanket, but she's got her knees curled toward the edge of the couch & Colin is sleeping in the space between her stomach & her knees. It's a pretty sweet pic!

And, we gave the very stinky baby a bath. He LOVED it at first, but then got a little chilly:

And, here is the baby just after he wasn't so stinky anymore. Ahhhh....BATHTIME!!

And, a couple of shots of Aunt Laura and Mini-me. I swear, I don't know how I managed to give birth to my sister's child!

And, here is William, being super-happy because he got to sleep with his "special aunt" (otherwise known as his godmother!) for two whole nights. He thought he was so grown-up, getting to sleep in the basement with her. He informed her that when he was 30 (his "grown-up" age these days), he would drive her around in our van & she could sit in the front because she was his special aunt. He then proceeded to tell her that I would have to sit in the back & that she couldn't touch the steering wheel b/c he would be driving. The things he comes up with!

And, a couple of shots of my little man demonstrating his awesome head control. Notice how low she's holding him. You only have to put a hand under his little hiney & he keeps his back straight & controls his head. And, he does it for A WHILE, not just a few seconds. Pretty large feat for a not-even-one-month-old!
