WW: A New Cousin Arrived {Linky}

My sister had her baby early Saturday morning. His name is Edison Robert, but his brother that's 6 and Isaak both call him Ederson. He's already developed the nickname Edders. This is baby #2 welcomed in our extended family this month. We have 1 more due soon.

My sister Terra AKA Aunt Terra with Edison.

The boys checking him out.

Mica with Edison, and Isaak with Edison.

Isaak said, "Really Mica, Edison's head is 14 feet?!" Really his head is 14 inches, which I guess is big. My boys had tiny heads.

 Just a shot of Edison with his reddish hair. I think it will be strawberry blondish. It's hard to tell because their hair color changes. Once a red head, usually always a red head.

My sister AKA Aunt Terra, and Brother-in-law AKA Uncle Tyson. They have Emerson (2 1/2) that wouldn't sleep Friday night along with Edison. They have 2 more kids that aren't even on the bed: Evan (9) and Elijah (6) that weren't at the hospital at the time. Boy will their hands be full! Big families are hard, but one with a special needs son is even harder.

I have to say that they were so lucky. The night after they left the hospital there was severe thunderstorm. Where the hospital is was hit the worst.

New Cousin

Last weekend I went to visit my cousin that just had a baby girl. There are so many boys, it's nice to hold a girl for once.

Isaak went in saying, "Babies are lame." to, "I want to hold her again." He's always liked babies, but someone at school told him that babies aren't cool. Anyone his age tends to be a bit of a follower. I told him that babies are special.

Mica used to be awkward around babies. Now he loves them. The problem with that evening was that when the baby was handed to him she was doing this:

She was certainly hungry. LOL For her size she eats just fine. She was only 5 pounds something at birth. Coming from a Mom (ME) that had major troubles with breastfeeding in the beginning, this is a success! She looks like she latches great!

Instead Mica read Thomas books to my cousin's son.

This little guy has an obsession with ears. He kept playing with Mica's eat. Mica was thinking, What the heck?

I got my baby fix to. Can you tell I like babies?

My cousin had a scare. The baby had a clogged tear duct. I know that's common. Her pediatrician didn't know that, that is what she had. Off to the NICU she went. They did an expensive scan before a doctor there even saw her. The doctor came in, popped it, and the fluid drained. Now I'm sure they will get a lovely expensive bill in the mail.

I can't count how much I've spent on my boys for no reason at all. Doctors worried me for no reason at all to. Things like that piss me off.

*An update on my soon to be nephew: My sister still hasn't had him. She'll get induced next week; if he isn't here yet. It's a good thing that he's not here just yet. My nephew Emerson has strep throat, so we think. They didn't do a culture because he throws up a lot. He sure did have the symptoms. The new baby Edison can hibernate a little bit longer. I just hope my sister Terra doesn't get strep throat! Imagine delivering, and being sick to.

Wordless Wednesday - Cousins

Meet Emerson. My newest nephew was born last Thursday. He weighed 5 pounds 15 ounces.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Emerson is such a cuddle bug!

I spent some time with Emerson's brother's, my nephew's, my boy's cousin's.

Totally them! Isaak getting ready to throw! Cousin Evan's giggling so hard, he's almost about to fall off his tree stump. Cousin Elijah's not looking at all. Mica's just calmly laughing at the whole scene.

There's the shot I worked so hard for.

Elijah cracked me up in this one. He's laughing so hard!
