Bath time for baby Grace!

We went to Grammy's today, and when we got there, baby Grace was getting ready for her bath. Clearly, Eli was very excited about this:

Eli was giving her kisses over and over...of course the picture doesn't portray that, lol!
Getting lathered up!

Eli was a big helper!

Here's Grace, all fresh and clean!

Smiling at her Daddy!

Meanwhile, Miles was helping himself to some Puffs!

Then he convinced Uncle Ben that he should have a cookie!

mmmmm!!!

Double duty!

Today was the first time I gave the boys a bath together, and they loved it! Miles is finally sturdy enough to withstand Eli's constant love taps, lol!

Fun with Paul Matthew and Doyle!

Due to some crazy circumstances, we had the pleasure of keeping Peej and Doyle with us for a few days. Matt was headed back to Florida to help Ben drive the moving truck back, (YAY, he's finally coming home!) and Devon was also in Florida, due to the unfortunate passing of her father. It's been a rough month for everyone in this family to say the least! While driving back with her sister, Devon got stuck in the huge winter storm of 09', and they were stuck in West Virginia for a couple of days. Eli and Miles had a great time bonding with Peej and Doyle though!!

Bath time for the big boys!

All clean...Eli is in a trance due to The Backyardigans being on tv!


Sweet little man Miles

mmmm, Paublo looks tasty!!

Eli was getting too close for comfort here, lol!

Hard at work with their blocks!

Miles and Doyle

Sweet boys!

Surprisingly, watching 3 boys, each only 10 months apart, it wasn't bad at all! The boys all had a great time, and we loved having them here!!

Tub time!

Miles LOVES taking a bath! He giggles, and kicks and splashes the whole time! Looks like he's going to be a water baby like his brother!

All clean!

You can almost read his thoughts...

Miles was looking extra cute after his bath tonight, so I wanted to take a few shots of him in his Cookie Monster towel! By the time I got the camera (2.2 seconds later) Eli was already nearing Miles to snuggle up to him! As you can tell by the look on Miles' face, he was preparing to brace himself, lol!

Eli loves his brother to pieces! Miles on the other hand looks terrified!

(He loves his big brother too...Eli can just be a bit over powering at times!)

First Bath!

Miles had his first bath today, at 8 days old. Yay for no more sponge baths!! 8 days old is also when Eli had his first bath. Speaking of Eli, he was a great helper! He was the official "hair washer." He loves doing anything to help with Miles, even throwing away poopy diapers. ;) Miles wasn't too sure about the water at first, but within seconds he was loving it. I can't get over how much the boys look alike as infants. Sometimes it's as if I'm staring at Eli. The second picture is of Eli at the same age, same tub, etc. I'm very curious to see how Miles looks as he gets older. It will be interesting to see if he follows his big brother's footsteps!

Not too sure yet...
