Guess what? I have another new cousin! This is Lilija Grace, daughter of my mommy's brother, Don and his wife, Rasa. She was born on December 22 and weighed 8 pounds 5 ounces.Here we are in the hospital the day after she was born.
Lily's birth has been traumatic on my other cousin, Jakey. This photo captures his emotion as we told him he had to be the 'big brother' of the house now. Once he was over the initial shock, he decided he could do the job. He now kisses Lily when she needs to be comforted and has taken to the 'big brother' role as well as a 19 month old can!
Lily did not want her photo taken today when mommy decided to start the photo shoot, so she started to cry.
Never fear, Lily. Cousin Alex is here to comfort you. Welcome to the family, Lily! I am looking forward to driving our parents nuts next year, aren't you?
