Last week my sister and nephew came to visit. They stayed two nights so we could have some fun with Amelia & Anders and also get work done on Anders first year book. I’m happy to say both were successful!
Anders showed a lot more interest in Amelia this time. We still had to watch him because he would get excited or start poking at her eyes (!)…but he is definitely learning to be more gentle with her.

We went for a couple walks (I really wish they lived closer so we could do that on a regular basis!).

And we dressed Amelia up in different outfits for a photo shoot. First up…Pea Pod:

Second…Ballerina:

Thanks to Aunt Bea for the tutu!

I got some quality time with Anders and it was so cool watching him figure out how the pieces all worked together! It is so amazing to me to watch babies learn…I love it!

My parents came over at different times to watch the kids so we could work (we had moderate success with that) and so we were able to get a great photo of the 4 of us!

One of the nights Josh and Robyn came over for dinner and they brought Anders birthday present…a cat piano. Seriously, this thing can sound like a regular piano or you can switch it so the keys play a “meow” in the different notes!

It’s going to be so fun watching Amelia grow up with her cousin close by. I always look forward to seeing my sister and her family and I think it’s only going to get better as they grow up!

I Love My Sister
