... And I am still completely smitten. =]
After being so eagerly anticipated (for what felt like an age), I held him in my arms for the very first time.

~ The Early Days ~
I stayed with T + E for a week, after the dear boy's arrival (!).
And this is the look I would get when I'd put him down, so I could go and do the dishes. =]
I knew we were going to have fun with his hair, from the very beginning! ;}
And we most certainly have ... +]
Happy Holding Times
Transfixed with looking at himself in the camera ;)
He undeniably resembles both of my brothers (in my opinion).
Uncle - Nephew
(I'll have to show you a picture from Erik's babyhood, at some point =)
Adorably Curious
His reaction to seeing Heidi is hilarious!
He always thinks that she's going to chase him (I wonder why? ;), so
he'll giggle and hide his face in the shoulder of whoever's holding him at the moment.
=D
The only way to keep Baby from removing sunglasses from face, is to occupy hands, so as to prevent them from performing said action. =}
And this is the face, resulted.
Being Thoughtful
(er, perhaps, bored? ;)
The noise that comes with this face is cuteness at it's best!
He's at a fun age to take to the Zoo - he puts up with a lot. ;)
Grandpa Fred and his Grandson <3
He enjoys riding things ...
Lions ...
... Airplanes ...
... and Skateboards, to name several. =)
Fluffy Child
"Hellooo?"
{everything is a phone}
Such Sunshine!
Growing Well!
*sniff*
He can feed himself =')
Favorite past times include:
Carrying Evin-sized suitcase around the entire house; eating ... ; helping 'clean' (I know he means well =); cuddling with fuzzy things (or trying to rearrange their faces, with his teeth ... depends on his mood ;); holding objects ... he has this sixth sense, where he knows precisely what he shouldn't hold, and then attempts to grasp Forbidden Item =P; riding on Great Grandma's mobile chair-lift; getting tickled on his head; getting rides in baskets ...
"These are a few of {his} favorite things!" =)
Saying "please" for his yummies, by clasping both hands together.
How can one refuse him anything when that adorably hopeful smile is present!
We captured him in an over-sized T-shirt ...
Charming Chap!
This is the 'talking-to-himself' expression ;)
Photo-booth Merriment!
Some of my most cherished memories. <3
He's rather the center of attention among'st my peoples =)

Of course, I realize that there are many other aunts and uncles reading this post (or whatever the relation may be), who have the cutest nieces and nephews ever! =]
And you are perfectly at liberty to say so; in fact, I'll say it with you!
It is every fond relation's right. =)
So, I'm certain you shall understand, and will take no offence when I say that,
My nephew is the cutest e.v.e.r. <3
Pip-pip,
Phia
