jealousy...

two babies in a chair...  

daddy holding two babies!!!

leaving church today...

yesterday at the pool... caleb and james slept so well!!!

nora got to "hold you baby caleb" (which sounds like cay yeb)
nora hasn't expressed too much jealousy at having a new brother.  she got mad (at me) yesterday, and i was holding both kids.  she went to hit james, and stopped herself, before i even had to say anything.  and she really doesn't get mad at him too often.  

i should mention now that she wasn't LOCKED in her room, just shut the door...  and told me to "away".

okay, so back to today.  we are watching jeffrey (trying to repay the favors chelsey has done of ALWAYS watching one or both of our kids...).  nora is insanely jealous of ANYTHING jeffrey does.  if he gets held, she wants to be held.  if he gets a snack, she wants the same thing.  jeffrey just goes along with it.  he's such a cool kid... which may be why my daughter wants to model him so badly.  david picked up jeffrey when he cried for a second, and instantly, nora said "two babies"... like, daddy, hold me!  they actually do play really well together, and there hasn't been any fighting between them at all.  and i am sure we were a sight walking into church this morning.  me, with the two kids and david with james in the carseat.  i am sure people thought we were nuts with "twins" and a new baby!!  ha ha...  

i really am so glad that nora has such a good friend!  they have had the best time.  it's so fun to watch them play...  (and david noted how two the same age is so fun, because they entertain each other....hence i can blog with three kids!!!  one is sleeping...)
