september baby

I used to think a book and a park was the best way to spend my lunch hour, but then nephew came into my life.

And now, this is the best way to spend an hour.

Because you get to see this,

and admire those eyelashes that your brother passed onto his baby.

There is a tiny right arm that finds it's way into your armpit,

and adorable socks on legs that are finally filling out which you kind of want to squeeze until they pop (but you won't).

Then he'll readjust, sink his head into your shoulder and put a perfect hand on your neck (which makes butterflies).

And since he dropped the soothie out of his mouth in the adjustment then you get to see those lips and keep irritating him by kissing them.

And then for your patience and near perfect care, he'll wake up and thank you by smiling at his mama like she's the only woman on the planet.

So I guess maybe I just need one of my own right? Any takers?
