New Addition

 

Welcome to the world!



My niece and her precious baby!



The matriach (my mom) with her younger set of babies (P, Layla, and nephew Maximus)



My older nephew, whom P adores like crazy, with his new niece!



Deja vu? No, that's my nephew a year ago with P.



We welcomed Miss Layla into our household on March 28, 2011. She is my niece and her husband's baby girl. At times when I look at her, she looks a lot like P. I went to my folks this past weekend to meet this sweet little bundle of joy.

As I held her, I couldn't imagine P being so little and squeaky like that! She had that newborn baby smell and was so tiny and light. P was only a little curious and smiled as we introduced her. She didn't even care that I was holding her.

My nephew, who is 2, was also there. So as my sister and I realized, her son is 2, my daughter is 1, and the new baby is obviously newborn at three weeks--this is the same scenario that my mom had. My oldest sister at 2, my middle sis at 1, and me as newborn. We could not imagine having to take care of three kids so close in age simultaneously! Crazy! Kudos to you Mom (although it probably helped that we were such easy and great kids...ha...ha...)!

It will be fun to watch this new wave of babies, on my side of the family, grow up together.
