Babies...

We all know that I've got (and have had for quite some time) a bad case of Baby Fever.  And surprisingly, no amount of cowbell has done the trick.  Well, this summer I have been repeatedly blessed with opportunities to get my baby fix.  I've got some lovely enablers in my life...and I am grateful!

Firstly, I have gotten to spend a fair amount of time with my bestie's baby, Quinn.  She was born in December, so I've had the pleasure of getting to hold her and hug her and play with her through various stages of baby-hood.  But it's been 3 weeks, and I'm going through withdrawals.  I mean, look at this sweet face!

But that's OK.  Luckily, several of the weekends that I haven't been able to spend with Quinn, I've been able to spend with my new nephews.


My sweet Jackson (my baby brother's baby) was born in June.  I wasn't able to get down there to meet the little guy until the end of July, though.  And let me tell you.  It was worth the wait.  He was just precious!  And you should all be impressed by my restraint.  I only flooded facebook with, like, 20 something pictures.  I thought that was pretty good!  Now he's over 2 months old, and he's already changed SO much!  I love his sweet crooked smile.  He just melts my heart!!


My sweet Noah (my older sister's baby) was born the day after I got back from visiting Jackson at the very end of July.  Since we had just gotten back from a weekend trip, we had to wait a little bit before getting to meet this little guy, too.  But we were lucky enough to not have to wait too long.  We got to meet him and hold him and kiss him on day 10!  He was just so little and so perfect!  I can already tell he just loves his Aunt Tracy SO much!!  I just love him to pieces!


And this weekend was the piece de resistance.  I got to be with BOTH Jackson and Noah.  Together.  For a whole weekend!!  They both got baptized on today, and I was absolutely thrilled!  While my mind has been racing with worries and anxieties about school starting on Monday (TOMORROW!), these boys have been making my heart sing with joy.  I am blessed to be their aunt.  I am blessed to be their godmother.  I am just plain blessed!
