Pajama Day

Today was pajama day at Evan's school. I'm not sure why it was pajama day, but I'm all for any reason to stay in your PJs all day! Anyway, I wanted to get a picture of Evan in his pajamas and managed to get some cute ones of him and Emma. I had to put her on the couch so that I could take the pictures of Evan. Once that happened, he was like an ant to honey. He sure loves his little sister!

The astute observer will notice that Emma's bib disappears halfway through this sequence of events. I ended up taking it off because without fail, whenever I set up a picture where she's dressed up and looks cute, it never turns out well, but when she's propped in the corner of the couch with a wet bib it ends up on the blog.

I was going to put captions on these, but I think both of their expressions speak for themselves =)

More Evan and Emma

Evan has been such a great big brother to Emma so far! It's been a very pleasant surprise because we weren't sure how he'd react to his new baby sister. He doesn't pay a whole lot of attention to her most of the time, but whenever she whines or cries he comes right over to give her a gentle pat on the head and a kiss.

Then, the other morning, I was holding Emma and Evan said "My baby!" and held his hands out. I asked him if he wanted to hold Emma and he said yes, so he hopped up on the couch and put his arms out to hold her. He did such a good job and was very proud of himself. Unfortunately, since I was helping hold Emma and the camera was nowhere in sight, I wasn't able to get a picture of that moment. But since then, he's asked to hold her a few more times, so I finally got a couple of pictures of Evan and his little sister!

Evan and Emma

Evan met Emma for the first time when she came home from the hospital last week. When he first saw her, he just stopped and stared, amazed. But then he squatted down and was very gentle. He likes her! His own little, as he calls her, "bee-bee."

Hi little sister.

Hugs!

Wow, she has soft skin.
