Here is Aaron, the proud "blood uncle" as he called it. We have one niece on my side, but as he pointed out, it is definitely different when it is your own little sister having the baby.
We were sad to be down in Sunriver during the birth (those pics to come soon), but glad that we live so close that we could easily go up for a visit. Adelyn wasn't quite sure what to make of such a tiny little baby, but she warmed up to her fast enough. While we were there she tried to pet her a couple of times, kiss her, poke her in the mouth, slap her head, and use her face as support when trying not to trip....so hopefully that's not any indication of future relations between them!
Congratulations though Dan & Hillary! She is certainly a special baby to be born to you...and to be born on Valentine's Day AND the Chinese New Year. We are two for two for Holiday grandbabies, which gives Aaron and I something to shoot for for baby number two.
In closing, I just had to share the most awesome recent picture of baby number one. One night I was picking out the inside of some french-type crusty bread for Adelyn to eat with her noodles, but she kept reaching for the crust instead. So I decided to just give it to her to see what she would do with it.
When I turned back around, this is what I saw. And she sat there just like that gumming that crust until it dissolved in her mouth. Oh she is precious.

I wonder if she got the idea flipping through photo albums....
