Sharks and Babies

Its picture time!

First, some shots from my first Sharks experience:

Sara and Sarah post nachos with extra cheese

Our view, plus some zooming. I need to learn the rules of hockey...why do they always stop play and do those face-off things?

HP Pavilion, aka "The Shark Tank." The big Shark head lowers to the ice and the players skate out of the mouth when they come onto the ice, with fog and music, and all that stuff.

And now, its time for the babies. Ohhh, the babies. First, I was introduced to Evan Jin Grey on Friday night. Evan and my cousins - his mom and aunt - flew in from Seattle.

How stinkin' cute is he??!!! He has some big, big brown eyes. I let him and his momma sleep on my bed and he played with black dog and blue puppy. I think he liked them.

Such a happy, easygoing baby, look at that smile!

Evan and his Mommy - I'm not really sure who he resembles at this point. We all kind of think he looks like the Gerber baby.

Then on Saturday, my cousin in LA and Eric Minhyuk joined the party. Eric's pants are off! Chubby chubby legs and striped socks...adorable!

We did an experiement: Eric's mom is holding Evan, and Evan's aunt is holding Eric. Eric is 13 months old, Evan is 8 months old. We did it again later with Evan's mom holding Eric instead of his aunt. Both times, Evan didn't really seem to care or notice.

And both times, Eric freaked out and started crying/having a tantrum. Man, those five months really make a difference. Of course, we laughed both times it happened too.

Most of the time, Evan and Eric were in their own worlds. Eric is already walking so he roamed around the house speaking/yelling his baby babble, while Evan hasn't started crawling yet so he sat, ate, and drooled. But they interacted every once in awhile. Eric: "What is this...thing?"

Second cousins! Someone was hovering over them everytime they got close to avoid fingers poking eyes, etc. I think Eric thought Evan was a toy. Sometimes, when Eric was either hollering in his baby babble or crying near Evan, Evan would just look at him with an alarmed look on his face and start yelling too. So funny.

See the little tendril of hair hanging over his forehead? We thought it was very Superman-esqe.

Eris is wearing the overalls and argyle sweater we gave him for Christmas. Doesn't he look like a baby old man? And the sweater has elbow patches, which makes it even better.

After the Seattle crew left on Sunday, Eric and my cousin came to church with us. Eric and Carol are buds now.

I wish I knew how to post videos because I have some pretty adorable videos too. So now the babies are all gone and life has returned to normal. I don't know how parents do it, the little dudes were only here for a couple of days and I wasn't even in charge of them while they were here...but it was exhausting. I definitely won't be having one for awhile (one step at a time people), but that didn't stop me from encouraging my cousins to pop out some girls this time. Because girl baby clothes are so much cuter.
