Last week was Spring Break for Alistair. We didn't have anything planned, but managed to keep ourselves pretty busy. On Wednesday we headed down to Tacoma to babysit our niece/their cousin Heather. Katelin was at daycare and Jen & Ethan needed some help since her mom was unavailable. So we volunteered! It was a pretty fun day. Heather was a piece of cake, but it solidified my decision to only have 2 kids! Gillian loved helping out. She was on binky patrol. She would be in the other room and would hear the binky hit the floor and all of a sudden I would hear, "Uh-oh! Binky fall down!" She would come racing out from where she was, scoop up the binky and give it back to Heather. She was also on top of bringing her toys and stuffed animals as well as blankets!
Heather is a very smiley baby and very easy going. We had a good time together!
Gillian found the bumbo and decided to sit in it. She thought it was funny! (:
It's hard to believe Alistair is old enough to be able to hold a baby while standing! I had to have him hold her once while I tested her bottle, which made her stop crying and stare at Alistair. So I did it again later and took a photo! Alistair was very sweet with her too. He would randomly walk by, stop and kiss her on her forehead.
Cousins! Too bad Katelin wasn't in the photo, I don't think we have a photo of the 4 of them yet!
That night we stayed at my parent's house and on Thursday my mom took the day off and we took the kids to Northwest Trek. It was a slightly wet and cold day, so not a lot of people there. We are a hearty crew and it paid off in spades for us! No crowds and the animals were all lively and moving about except the lazy black bears! On the tram ride we saw everything but moose. It was a fun day!
