BABY Fever

I learned something new about Eston yesterday. I have known for a while that he thinks babies are fun, because he will rock them in their car seats, but I did not know that
Eston is a baby hog.

We went to visit my friend Sarah and her kids today. Sarah had her baby about 6 weeks ago, but due to my children being sick and then passing the illness on to Matt and I, we have stayed away from visiting. Yesterday was our day to finally go and see Sarah, Sammie's friend Holden, and their new baby Claire. When we got there Sammie went straight to Holden and picked up playing where they left off about 2 months ago. Eston started to follow, UNTIL, he spotted Claire laying on the couch. I have never seen that boy so excited. This even beats the time when he got to wear Sammie's dress and got his new costume. He just about jumped out of his skin he could hardly stand it. I went over to hold her and he just kept eyeing her and mumbling stuff to me about her. Eventually I asked him if he wanted to hold her and he sat right next to me. The baby was barely in his arms before he started hugging her, cuddling with her, and talking to her (all gently and soft). My friend was laughing at how intensely Eston was watching her. After a while I took her from him and told him to go play. Then I asked Sammie if she wanted to hold her and before Sammie could even get near the couch, Eston had pushed her and taken her place next to me for another turn. He probably held Claire about 5 times and every time he acted like it was the first.

Sammie was finally ableto hold Claire (that is with the help of Sarah holding Eston at bay).

Now I just have to break it to Eston that he won't be getting his own for quite sometime. I figure that my friends and neighbors can just keep him in supply of his baby fix.
