Jaden's Visit

Last weekend we offered to take care of cousin Jaden while Jacki and Steve got away for a night. We go to experience what life would be like if we had twins, and it looks like we could handle it with no problem...as long as we have a live in Grandma :)

Jacki, Steve, & Jaden spent the night with us Friday night, and then after a short delay Saturday morning left to spend Saturday night in Charlottesville. Grandma Debbie came up for the day to help me out since Chris had to be at the hunt club that morning (thank you so much Grandma!!!!!!).

The day went pretty well. Jaden was so much fun to play with and did a great job eating and sleeping. He's getting so close to crawling, and it was fun to watch him try to scoot towards whatever toy he wanted (or Morgan!). We didn't run into any major problems until bedtime. Grandma had left at this point, and the plan was for me to put Jaden to bed first and then put Ryan to bed. As I was taking Jaden upstairs to start his bedtime routine we realized Ryan's diaper had malfunctioned and poop had exploded up his back. It was all over him! It made for an interesting adventure while we tried to give Ryan a bath, keep Jaden happy, and get Morgan out of the way. We made it through though and got everyone to bed with only a few tears.

Both boys slept all night without a peep, and we got to spend all Sunday playing together. Overall it was an exhausting, but fun weekend. Here are some pictures from our adventure.
The secret to our success...exersaucers!
Here's Jaden! If you look closely you can see two of his cute little teeth (he already has three!)
Ryan got a good lesson in sharing this weekend :)
Jaden loved Morgan! He kept trying to scoot towards her and every time she got a good lick in he would giggle like crazy!
And here are the boys together. I can tell already they're going to be partners in crime!
