I mentioned on Wavy’s six month post that the kids are still pretty enamoured with her. This morning, as I carried her down from her LONG sleepy morning (longest stretch of sleep we’ve gotten out of her in a while!) Dekker instantly abandoned his game and asked to hold her.
They snuggled for a good long while, until she started to get squirmy. He giggled at her and tickled her neck and teased her. He told her she was his best friend. He did SO good.
When I could tell his interest was starting to wane, I asked if he’d hold her for just one more minute while I made her a bottle. I should’ve seen it coming.
“Can I feed her??”
Lol! Of course you can.
I swear, she took her bottle better for him than she does for me.
At first, I helped him get her situated, and he asked me to hold the bottle in her mouth while he readjusted his hand. It wasn’t long before hie confidence grew, though! He’d take her bottle and set it beside him while he wiped her little mouth, and then give it to her again, never once getting flustered in between.
At one point, she was getting just too wiggly and flappy, and I offered him a break. He laughed and said “Ya, I think I might be done,” and relinquished the bottle and the baby to me. He got over half of it into her, though! Way to go, Dekker!
I love when I have a different blog plan and then something like this happens instead 😍
