Peter


This is Peter, he is Glens oldest boy cousin. Peter is a lot of fun, he loves to laugh and scaring him is the best way to make him laugh. This picture is from September when Glen had his baby blessing. Peter was all over the place, pulling himself up, pulling stuff off, exploring, and having fun.

cousin visit


Here John and Elijah were playing. I think John enjoyed this as much as Elijah.

My family came to visit a week or so ago, boy did we have fun. My nephew Elijah absolutely loves Glen. He is so helpful and protective. I remember when Glen was first born and my sister came up with her son. When we were at the WIC clinic picking something up Elijah demonstrated his protectiveness. A worker came to get me for my appointment and picked up Glen for me. As soon as she picked Glen up I heard Elijah complain. Shortly after sitting down I hear my sister yelling "Elijah, no!" and in come Elijah. He grabs the car seat and glares at the lady as if to say, "you want him, you have to deal with me," he wouldn't leave until I was finished and he was convinced that Glen was again safe.

I had quite a bit of fun with Elijah as well. After a spaghattie dinner Elijah was ready for a bath. I volunteered and we had fun. I gave him a Mohawk, put bubbles all over his hair, and played basket ball. Then we put Glen in and we had even more fun. Because I had put bubbles all over Elijah's hair Elijah thought Glen needed some bubbles in his hair so he took the bubbles off his head and put them onto Glen's. They were so cute together.



My sister Jennifer had fun with the kids too. She went outside to jump on the trampoline with Elijah and he decided Glen needed to jump as well. So he came in, grabbed Glen's hand and took him outside. (with his mom's help of course) Elijah helped Glens hand while they were jumping, he had to help Glen because Glen is to little to jump on his own. I smile at how helpful and sweet he is.
Here Jennifer is playing a game she used to play with my brother and me when we were little. She has the kids on her legs and is giving them and airplane ride. Elijah wanted to play with mommy and Glen so Jennifer is operating a Double Decker Plane here. Boy does that lady have talent.

Play time

Glen has tried so hard to learn to laugh and he is almost there. John is the only one who can make him laugh so far, of course he stops as soon as I pull out the camera. I just love watching John play with Glen and other kids as well. I have seen some dads who are so serious and never get down on the floor to play with their kids or roll around and I am grateful John is not one of those dads. I can tell he really enjoys playing with Glen. I am excited for when Glen starts to respond and play back a little bit, it will be so much fun for us all.
