Okay, so for the record I love being a mom of two! And I am so proud of how Zachary is handling everything -- especially the "Big Brother" role. He wants to help with every aspect of Eli -- the diapers, the crying fits, feedings, bath, getting dressed, etc. I really have tried to involve him as much as possible too -- by letting him pick out the outfits (with a little help, of course!), help get the diapers ready, help wash Eli, etc. However, the feeding part has been a little more complicated. Eli still isn't quite strong enough for nursing yet - so he is still taking milk from a bottle. Zachary has been dying to help feed him -- but it is hard for him to hold Eli and the bottle and Petey all at the same time! :) So the other night -- I figured out a solution to that problem! In the pics below, Zachary was able to feed Eli the whole bottle (with interruptions for burping of course) while I fixed dinner! It was perfect! Not to mention the Eli is loving this new "holding area" -- he sleeps so well in it! Hey, it's like the title of this post -- whatever works, right? :)
And this was just an adorable shot -- I didn't realize the spit up marks on his outfit showed up so much until the pic was already taken -- oh well, that's a newborn for you!
Getting some "Daddy and Me" time.
