"He looks like Neil!" is a phrase I am hearing more and more these days. It makes me happy considering his Dad is so good looking. :) Neil was home this past week for paternity leave and it was great! Jes has been in Louisiana visiting our fabulous friend, Emily, and attending a wedding. This meant Neil, Reid and I were on our own. Although we definitely missed "Aunt Jes" and ALL that she does to help, it was such a good week of time together. I truly enjoy watching Neil with Reid! It is amazing how God has gifted them with a special bond already. Reid calms down at the sound of Neil's voice and loves to look at Neil when he's holding him. It's obvious he adores his Dad already. I just want to take a moment to brag on Neil and how amazing he has been over these past 3.5 weeks. He is constantly encouraging me, telling me how gorgeous I look (even when I definitely don't feel that way) and taking me on excursions at night to get out of the house even when he's worked all day. Then he has also been helping with all things baby such as changing diapers, staying up at night, washing bottles and swinging with a crying baby. Thank you God for this little boy and his incredible Daddy. I am so blessed.
