Babies

We were lucky enough to visit our family in Corvallis to celebrate human babies and animal babies!  My sister-in-law, Elisabeth, is due to bless us with another adorable nephew at the end of this month.  We got to help her celebrate at her baby shower this past weekend.  And, Grandpa and Grandma have baby chicks so we also got to see them as well. 

 

Laurel held the chick for about two seconds and then it started moving its wings so she was done.

 

 

Erika held out a little bit longer, but then was afraid it was going to peck at her so she put it back in the box.  Levi wasn't allowed to hold the chicks since he demonstrated just how rough he could be at petting them.  Holding them probably would have been worse.

 

Laurel and I attended the baby shower while Erika and Levi stayed at Grandpa's house to watch the chicks and play.  Laurel was such a sweetheart, helping get the presents for Auntie Beth and generally being cute. 

 

And eating mini cupcakes.  And graham crackers with frosting.

 

I cannot wait to hold the new baby!  And then give him back to his mommy when I am done!  Hooray!
