Sibling Sweetness

I loved these pictures of Hayden and Elise especially. He doesn't want to cuddle that much and isn't too interested in the baby phase as Clare, very much is. So when he wanted to hold Elise I got my camera out. He was being so gentle with her and it was such a sweet moment. Clare is still plotting how to take care of the baby on her own. However, you can see its a stretch to get her little arms all the way around the baby. They both love her but it was sweet to see big brother take an interest in her today.

Elise at 3 weeks

Technically this is 3 weeks and one day, because I didn't get any pictures the day before...oops. However, on this day she rolled over from belly to back 3 times on her own and she was caught smiling several times at Hayden and Mom.

First Days at Home for Elise

Elise's first days at home were snuggled inside because of the foot of snow that was outside. We had the company of her Aunt Michelle and at times her Grandma B. Aunt Michelle took time to play in the snow with Hayden and Clare while she was here. Hayden and Clare were curious little siblings that first week and the poor girl couldn't hardly catch a nap around everyone downstairs. We got to break out the baby props one more time with Elise. So you see her taking in the play mat and snoozing in the swing. She was a pretty quiet baby (at least during the day) during the first week.
