Every day when Eric gets home, I hear the jingle of his keys, then the turning of the doorknob, and then finally the front door opens. This is a highlight for both Emily and me, as we look forward to his arrival home most of the day. When I hear the door open I typically call down to him “Hey Baby!”. Then I say “Daddy’s home”, and Emily runs to the baby gate to greet him as he comes up the stairs. I guess Emily has picked up on this little routine. Today when Eric got home from his soccer game, she and I were playing on the couch together. I heard the jingle, the knob, then the door, and I yelled down to him, “Hey Baby”, which came quickly followed by Emily yelling “Hey Baby!” to him too.

It was adorable, and it gave Eric and me a great laugh.
