Baby Boy Blue - One Week New

One of my favorite families ever, you may recognize this picture....

Well, it's been almost a year and they recently became a family of four.  Only a week new, you would never know with his alert eyes and 9+ pounds!!  (Mom is one amazing woman!)  It was so much fun to meet the new bundle and to see little Jack a year older and as big brother - even when he wasn't so thrilled to actually take part.

:-)

Congratulations Howard Family!!

My Love Bug: Meet Heidi Elizabeth

Soooo.....before I begin, I guess I should add a disclaimer.

I may just happen to be the (very proud) Aunt to this little bundle of sweets.  AND it may just be the first baby to my (best ever) younger sister.  AND it may just be the most recent baby in a long line of babies (this would be the 10th) in my band of siblings - however, the next youngest being 4! - meaning there hasn't been a baby around for quite some time.

What does this mean?

I AM A LITTLE BIASED.

I had to wait an entire month before it was my "turn" to visit (from TX to CT).  And oh my goodness.... I LOVE HER.  People often refer to babies as "yummy" and I've always thought it a little strange...But she is SO YUMMY!  Sweet natured, a wonderful sleeper, the Best.Ever. expressions and already cooing and smiling at...well, at me of course...and her mommy and daddy (she's a genius, I tell ya).

We did have a true photo session while there, but because I was around for a week, I got to capture the lifestyle details whenever I chose.  Heaven!  I miss her like crazy - and can't wait to see her in a couple weeks when her (very anxious) cousins get to finally meet her.  But in the meantime, I will just have to stare at her sweet face on my computer screen.....

Meet, my niece, Heidi Elizabeth.

Congratulations on my beautiful niece, Mary and Hans.
