Bonding

I can't tell you how much I adore seeing these two interact together. With each passing week Hailey notices Eli more and more, and he is really enjoying that! He tries to make her smile and laugh and loves playing with her. Tonight I let them both sit in the rocking chair and told Eli to show Hailey some books. He loved it. He pointed to things and talked to her about the book. He loves her so much. I was having a hard time holding back the tears behind the camera. :)

Eli is a big fan of these snowman pajamas (so much that he is requesting to wear them EVERY night) and goes and gets Hailey's matching PJs and requests that I put them on her as well. Ha!

How blessed I feel to be their mommy!

This picture below cracks me up. (Hailey's bow ended up being too small so I changed it before I took the pictures above in case you are observant!). Eli kept grabbing Hailey's thumb and pulling it out of her mouth and saying "no mouth." I couldn't figure out why he was doing that until I realized that I have started telling Eli to take his thumb out of his mouth when I find him sucking it endlessly throughout the day. He decided it was his turn to boss somebody around! :)

My mom left today after staying with us for a week. She was such a huge help while Eli was in the hospital and then again when Hailey got sick and needed to miss day care this week. She ended up staying here longer than she had planned because of the snow and road conditions in Arkansas but we were so thankful to have her!

Eli is saying "Tanks Nana" in this picture. :)
