We are so wonderfully blessed to have 3 sweet girls that we get to be auntie and uncle to (and cousins). They are all a huge blessing from God and entirely different not only in looks but temperament. I have not yet blogged about them but they are such a huge part of my life that without any pages starring them this blog would be incomplete. So without further ado, our nieces (oldest to youngest) and some of our favorite things about them:
This is Brooklyn. Or as I like to call her B, Miss B, or Beezer. If I had to pick only one word to describe her it would be JOY. She is easy to laugh, loves to play peek-a-boo, and is stubborn to boot. She was born in October of 2011 and is now a whopping 15 month old. Her story of how she came to be in our family is indeed a miracle and the working of God’s hand. Right now what I love most about B is her spunk, her belly forward walk, her joy at seeing Uncle Shawn, playing chase with her and her contagious laugh. We are truly blessed to have her only 7 blks away and my only complaint is that her mommy (my sister Jessie) doesn’t let her come stay with Auntie enough.
Our next sweet niece is a little girl we don’t get to see very often except via facebook or text because her mean parents (my sister Keesha and BIL Chris) live in Texas. A state that is altogether WAY to far away. Now Miss Molly or Miss Molly Mac is a sweet cherub born in December 2011 but it wasn’t until July 2012 that we finally got a real glimpse at this sweet face!
Now if I had to pick one word to describe Molly at 13 months old it would be DARLING. She just charmed the socks right off of her aunty. My sister told me that Molly isn’t much of a cuddlier but she let me love all over her. We shared quite a few moments of cuddling and it was {almost} enough to sustain me for the next 6 months. My favorite things about Molly right now are her cheeks (LOVE), her crazy hair, her babbles, exploring everything she’s not supposed to (to her mother’s irritation:p) and her seriousness. That was one thing I didn’t expect…for her to be so serious. She’s always smiling in pictures but she’s quite serious in person. I LOVE IT! Love and miss her!!
Our newest sweet niece was born in November of 2012 to my sister-in-law Laura and brother-in-law Brandon. Lexie really and truly had me wrapped around her finger at birth (just like the other 2:p). She is the first baby that my “babies” have gotten to hold and like me they LOVED it!
The word I would use right now to describe 2 month old Lexie would be PRECIOUS. The things I’m loving right now about Lexie: cuddles and snuggling, watching all the newborn movements, kissing those sweet cheeks, her dimples and just plain loving one her. She is working on rolling from front to back and while I’ve not been there to witness it myself I’m a pretty proud auntie:) I can’t wait to see what kind of personality this little one has. She was given the middle name Sue after Shawn and Laura’s sister and if she’s anything like her auntie she’ll be a firecracker…can’t wait!!
