My heart about burst out of my chest this weekend as I held my beloved niece, Ali, for the first time since the 4th of July! I love this girl! She is beautiful...and brilliant. I promise you, it would not surprise me one bit if she opened her mouth said, "Pass the peas" over the dinner table. We played with her toy phone and as it rung, I swear Ali yelled, "I'll get it!" Amazing. Unbelievable. My arms ache to hold her when she is away.
My scrumptious niece, Brielle, is also a butter-ball of love. A cupcake. An absolute girly-girl of joyous proportions. I adore Brielle. My belle. Her uncle Jeff terrorized her as she tried to tolerate his loud noises. Jeff likes to be typically rough and tumble with babies. Ali squeals with joy when he makes Scooby-Doo noises at her but Brielle is terrified. I'll bet Brielle will grow into being a gracious and calm young lady. I hope my baby will be as good of a sleeper as she is.
Laney is in absolute love with her cousins. She would pull Ali around in her toy car until her arms fell off if it made her baby cousin happy. Laney is a very good nurturer and will be the best baby-sitter as she gets older. It's always sweet to watch Max and Laney interact with Brielle and Ali. They love their cousins so much and I think it'll be good for them to be surrounded by the love of their expanding family over the years.
