Mummy's little helper
Elsa is now 5 months old and time just flies by! It definitely goes by even quicker second time round.
Lucas is enjoying Elsa a lot and when he comes home from daycare he will go up to Elsa who is usually in her bouncer and say to her "Lucas missed Elsa today".
Every time Elsa has a bath Lucas has to wash her hair, then tummy and then legs and that's him done. We learnt not to bath Elsa without Lucas doing his bit because the one time we did, he had a complete meltdown and we ended up putting Elsa back into the bath so that he could wash her and we could stop the tears!
The same goes for saying good night to Elsa and giving her a goodnight kiss as well as saying bye bye to her in the mornings.
Lucas certainly likes to be included and be mummy's little helper.

Family of four
It's been 6 weeks now since Elsa joined the Wright household and Lucas has been very good at adjusting to having a new noisy baby in his house!
He has become a very protective and proud big brother calling Elsa "Lucas's Elsa" and when people look at her (especially when she's sitting in her capsule or bouncer) he will often position himself so that he's in between Elsa and whoever is trying to get a look!
Lucas has also been naming who is in our house as a way to get his head around us now being a family of four and will say "Daddy, Mummy, Lucas and Elsa".
When Elsa cries Lucas will give her her dummy or will put his face up close to Elsa's and say "Hello!" as a way to try and cheer her up. Elsa is quite taken by her big brother as she will often stare at Lucas and will smile at him.
We are very proud at how well Lucas has adjusted to this new arrival.

Lucas meeting his sister for the first time.
Lucas met Elsa in hospital on the Friday and he wasn't exactly jumping for joy. He was curious but also a bit dismissive and when Daniel held Elsa, well that was the end of that. Lucas decided he wanted to be held by Daniel and when Daniel asked him to wait that's when the tears started. Oh dear.
Happy Birthday Elsa!
