A Special Treat | WEDDING, FAMILY, & CHILDREN'S PHOTOGRAPHER | EFFINGHAM, ILLINOIS

Nick and I have been very lucky when it comes to childcare for Colby. When I first went back to work, Miss Norann watched her, and when she resumed her nursing classes last month, I was frantic trying to figure out what we would do for a new babysitter for Colby. At the last moment, I remembered that our friend Carolyn, who had Baby Henry just one month after Colby was born, had mentioned that she planned on watching one or two little ones and staying home with Henry. We could not be more thankful for the loving care she gives Colby, and we're also excited that Colby has a playmate in Henry!

Today in my inbox was this little treat from Carolyn: pictures of Colby and Henry playing during the day!

Colby - probably wanting the camera. Like her cousin Jacob, she's drawn to all things electronic...especially remotes.

Big smiles...probably because she's playing with a green tractor. Sorry, Daddy!

Colby and Henry hanging out.

Colby and Henry holding hands. I like Henry's onesie. :)

With her tongue out...as usual, it seems nowadays.

This little onesie is a gift from Carolyn. On the front, it says, "This is my little black dress." Too darn cute!

Holding hands again....

...and again. When Nick saw these hand-holding pictures, he turned to Colby and told her that she had to stop holding hands with boys.

So happy in the exersaucer!

Look at those little chubby legs. There's nothing wrong with a John Deere tractor. It's such a relief to have a good sitter. I was very fortunate with both of my boys. They also had the opportunity to play with other children. Besides, it will give her a chance to build up some immunities before she starts school. She is such a cutie. Love that tongue smile!

Your daughter will not be afraid to hang with boys! It looks like Colby and Henry get along great!

Love - Kori

How cute!!! I also think it's great when babies can stay where other children are -- and to have someone the same age -- Carolyn is surely brave to take that on!! I can't imagine taking care of "almost twins"!!! But Henry and Colby sure look like they enjoy each other!
