Jack's First Days Home

It has been a VERY busy last few days at the Barton's. Adjusting to 2 kids has not been bad so far, but we've had lots of help from my Mom and Bob. Here are some pictures of a few milestones we hit in our house this week:

First up, Jack's first bath. Layla was pretty curious why we had to give him a bath on the counter. Hard to explain the cord and "wee wee" situation to a 2 year old little girl. LOL. He really didn't like it, but I think Big Sis was even more upset than he was! She didn't like to hear him cry like that and we had to explain over and over that we weren't hurting him. Poor babies. 

Next up, first snuggles at home:

Another big milestone in our house is Layla's first "go" at playing Nintendo. We have thought about busting out Wii bowling for awhile, but didn't want to do it because we didn't want to not be able to help her with it when Jack got here. Turns out this is the perfect time to introduce it! Layla and Daddy have had some fun times playing Mario, Mario Cart and Donkey Kong. She doesn't get it, but soon enough we'll be having bowling parties and Mario Cart marathons. I can't wait!

And last but not least, our Elf came the day after Thanksgiving! Layla wasn't too sure about him at first, she avoided the foyer most of the day. LOL. But after awhile of talking about him she was totally into it. So far he's greeted her in the foyer, hid in the Christmas tree and today he got her snow gear ready to play outside!

We have so much fun, can't wait to see what next week brings!
