Babies. I love them.

We have many cute babies in our family. And it's all come so quickly--I'm nearly overwhelmed with all the cuteness. I guess I don't really have to introduce you since everyone I invited to my blog so far knows of them, but just in case you forgot:


Ethan, son of my nephew Keith and his wife Sasha
Words to describe him: CUTE, playful, funny, mischief, charming
My thoughts: I think he's going to be a great athlete. He is already (at age 1) an excellent climber and shows great upper body strength. Ethan is always on the move and is in that imitating stage that is so amusing. You say a word, he repeats it. You knock on the wall, he knocks. You bust a move, he busts a move. Love it.

Keilana, daughter of my niece Kari (aka kar-bear) and her super-tall husband Carl
Words to describe her: ADORABLE, chubby, curious (don't have as many words yet because I haven't met her in person yet. Boo.)
My thoughts: I think Keilana is destined to be a surfing prodigy. They live on the beach and her dad is an avid surfer, often making up stories so that he can go catch some waves. Plus, she looks GREAT in a swimsuit.

Mikka, daughter of my brother Alan and his girlfriend Mireya
Words to describe her: Beautiful, sleepy, pink, soft, warm, sweet
My thoughts: Mikka is the daughter of two cops, so I think she will learn to make smart decisions. She is also going to be a very patient little girl, because she has my brother as her father. When you're done reading this, make sure to view the "Chow on it" video on my facebook and you'll know what I mean. Also, she's going to have great abs--she's already working them like a pro.

Makaila, daughter of Keith and Sasha (do the math--Ethan's baby sister)
Words to describe her: Beautiful, pink, snuggly, soft, sweet (I know...lots of the same words as Mikka, but they are only a few weeks apart in age)
My thoughts: Makaila is going to be a tomboy, I'm guessing. She's going to follow her big brother's footsteps and learn the ropes from him. When she can't climb up to reach what she wants, she's going to be a smart cookie and use a cute little smile to charm her dad/mom/brother/auntie to get her what she wants.

All of them are so lucky--they are all surrounded by people who love them so much! And they know they have an auntie who always loves having a baby in her clutches.
