Friends

We all know that friends are an important part of our lives.  It has been fun watching Erik begin to form early friendships.  He has started really enjoying other kids.  Friday night we were at our friends -- there were two 1 year olds and a 2 year in addition to a 5 year old.  The little kids loved the big kid.  They spent close to an hour chasing each other around the house -- Erik just smiled and smiled.  He was having so much fun.  

His "best" friend is Cullen!  He spends a lot of time with Cullen.  Since they see a lot of each other they are not afraid to fight or cause trouble but generally they like each other a lot.  In fact, Erik likes to kiss Cullen goodbye whenever we leave.  Cullen often asks for "Ick, Ick" throughout the day. :)

Leslie (Cullen's mom) watched Erik for Victor and I while we had our ultrasound.  Here are a couple of photos.  Apparently, the play date was quite taxing as at one point Erik cuddled up next to Leslie on the couch and went to sleep.  

I sure am glad that all of Erik's friends have wonderful mom's.  I wonder how that happened?!  I wonder how long I get to pick Erik's friends?

Enjoy!
