auntie love

I've been an auntie for 4.5 years now and it is one of my absolute favorite roles. I love my nieces and nephew like they are my own! Now, one of my favorite things in the world is being able to watch my sister Karrie with Kyle. She loves him so much, and at only 7 weeks old it is very apparent that he loves her back. He snuggles up to her and is so calm in her arms. This may have something to do with the fact that she's been showering him with non-stop kisses and hugs since the second he was born!

Karrie finally got her wish to babysit Kyle yesterday when I left him at home and ventured out alone to my postpartum check-up. It felt weird and sad leaving him behind for a couple hours, but knowing he was with his auntie (who was sending me non-stop pictures and video, of course) made it ok.

In this video, you can see the love for her in his face! So sweet!

Brian, Kyle and I are so lucky to have family that loves us so much. And I'm so happy that my sis finally understands the love I have for her babies - auntie love!
