Niblings

… is a word that BN coined for referring collectively to Nieces and Nephews. I have a new nephew, my brother’s son GJW. It was a long two months waiting to meet him, I was sustained in the meantime by adorable pics that my sister-in-law posted on Facebook. He is a handsome little guy, I wish I had taken more photos of him and captured one of his beautiful smiles. I was too busy watching him to be snappy with the camera, I guess. Here he is with his Dad, and in Grandma’s swing that was rigged up with extra padding – a surefire nap-inducing trick.

I also got to catch up with JWS, my sister’s 10-month-old big boy. He’s grown a lot since we saw him at Christmas, he’s got teeth… but still no hair. I love his round blue eyes and the way he waves his hands around. What a charmer.

And Little Miss EAA, BN’s brother’s daughter, is a busy 14 months now. She is always on the move, with no time for baby toys. Dog dishes and toothbrushes are more her style. She is so cute and spunky!
