Auntie Ernie & Uncle Andrew

It just occurred to me that we never posted much about the Baby Boot Camp that we ran a few weeks back. Well, it wasn't so much as a boot camp as it was a visit by Charlotte's Auntie Ernie (aka my sister, Erin) and Uncle Andrew. Since they will be expecting a baby of their own in two short months (baby Zach is due June 14th), their visit was also a learning session about all sorts of things, like how to hold a newborn, how to change a diaper (Auntie Ernie changed a bunch!), bath time, meal time, etc.

I had hung out with Sara & Joe's little baby Annabelle when she was first born, but probably not enough to have learned all I should have before we had Charlie. I wish I had done a practice session with a newborn to prepare myself! Thank goodness all of Charlie's grandparents came out for the first few weeks to help teach us infant care. I can't imagine getting through March without them.

Anyway, since I neglected to take virtually any photos of Erin and Andrew with their new niece, I got these photos from my mom's picture share to post. Don't they already look like baby care pros? Zach's going to have much more experienced hands caring for him when he's born. You can check out their progress at their baby blog.

Hey! Who are you two people? You kind of look like my mom, actually...

Just had some dinner, and now it's time for burpy burpy!

Man - I haven't ever been this high off the ground. Are you the Jolly Green Giant?

Ha! True baby boot camp would be if I were given a colicky baby to take care of. Charlotte is the best baby I've ever been around! Just over 2 months until I get to see her next.... How am I ever going to wait that long?
