November 2013:
Eli has an absolute obsession with anything baby! One day, we went to our local second-hand shop, Savers. I have found great treasures there (a Bruder truck, WOW toys, Scheich animals, Stride Rite shoes, a brand new Gap pea coat for Josiah, and always, always great books), but it takes a little time to look around. I took advantage of Eli's interest in babies and let him play with the dolls. However, there was ONE baby he was absolutely attached to... as in, he started kissing it (gross, I know), hugging it, and exclaiming "baby! baby! baby!" over and over again! I caved and bought it for him and wanted to throw up every time I watched him shower the "baby" with kisses. It's weird too. It's a baby in a bear body suit. We affectionately call it, Bear Baby.
Anyway, I took the next picture to document Eli's latest nightly ritual. He kisses his two babies, Oliver Baby (on the left) and Bear Baby (on the right). Then he places each one in the corner of his crib. Seriously sweet!
And here is a random picture of Eli wreaking havoc in the boys' room!
