my new nephew

i spent last weekend snuggling my new, squishy baby nephew.

and hanging out with his big brother.

who is obsessed with balls of all kinds.  (can you see the soccer players that he’s watching?)

and inducting him into the big sibling club (his parents are both youngest siblings, so he needs someone else to show him the ropes).

like how to make sure you get all of the best parts of things (whipped cream off the top of hot chocolate!) before anyone else does.

but i must confess that i also spent a lot of time taking pictures of the new guy.  here are my tip-top faves:

welcome to the world, small dude.
