MarMar comes to help with baby Sebastian; February 13-25

My mom--MarMar--came to help us for a couple of weeks in February. It was so nice to have someone stay with us to lend an extra hand. MarMar did loads and loads of laundry, cooked, cleaned, and entertained the kids. We are so thankful that she was able to find an educational course right around the time of Sebastian's birth, so she could come to see her grandson and help out!


Helena LOVES to dance...MarMar helping Helena 'shake it'!!



As I've previously said, bathtime can be horrific with just one adult and two children. MarMar made it do-able...here she is washing Sebastian before his umbilical cord fell off and he could be submerged.



Counting piggsies with Helena...and this little piggy cried wheeeeeeeeeee all the way home!





Helena loves her brother...all clean after bathtime.



Helena giving more love.



Sweet sweet babies...they grow so quickly!!!



Helena and Sebastian with MarMar...trying to get everyone to smile is impossible!!!

We miss you MarMar and can't wait to see you when you come to visit again!!!

Helena holds Sebastian

Helena finally is well!!! It has become part of our nightly routine now, well...at least when Michael is home...for Helena to hold Sebastian after their baths. We think she looks forward to it and we know she enjoys it!

Her first time holding him...they both are amazingly calm!

Helena makes sure he has two eyes, a nose, and a mouth!




Helena gives him a kiss!!


More pictures Mom, are you serious?



Yep, there are his footies...




She requested his pacifier...how did she know he needed it? She's very mothering when she holds him...she wants to give him a blankie also!




We get this face a lot when he's crying...can't you just hear her shhhhh'ing him?
