Very Important People

Our son is blessed to have a LOT of favorite people. 

He sees his grandparents pretty much daily (both sets), and has formed a secure attachment with all of them.

No stranger danger here.

There's Grandma Jaye and Grandpa…

they love to have fun

 Here's one of Eli's favorite new things…he loves to lean in at you and rest his head on your head…like how the cone heads kiss. 

Minus the creepy noise.

Then there's Nana

 and Papa

 Here's a picture from that same day that was too cute not to share. His cousin Lizzie is going to be a big sister to a little GIRL soon, and she is learning to help with baby things.

Then, there's his friend Jess

Jess visits from KC

 Here they are watching the Royals win some sort of important game…

waaaay past his bedtime

because she knows I can't say no

 She was my friend first, but I don't think that matters, because they have a bond ALL their own.

There are lots more, but these were all pictures from just the last week that made me think- 

WOW, Eli has a lot of love from a lot of people.

…and I have a really deep babysitting bench (oooh look, a sports reference!)
