A Visit With Andrew and Nathan

I have been enjoying my week at Melissa and Shane's helping out with Andrew and Nathan. They are 6 weeks today and I am the last of the live in help. I have been trying to give Melissa helpful hints to get her ready to do it on her own next week. Today, Melissa did all of the feedings, etc on her own.

It has been so great to get to know my little nephews and their unique personalities.

Andrew: aka billygoat (due to his sounds he makes awake and asleep.) and peanut since he is the smaller of the two. He is content many times to sit on his own.

Nathan: the pumpkin. He looks so much bigger than Andrew even though their weight Check Spellingdifference is only one pound. He wants to be held most of the time and today Melissa started using the Baby Bjorn carrier and he was very happy and so was she. She could walk around the house and get a lot of stuff done.

I am leaving Saturday and I am sad to think about how much they will change before I see them again.
