The Perfect Uncle

Uncle C is only 9 years old, so for a baby that's pretty much the perfect Uncle... a kid, fascinating, easy to play with, shorter. Miss M is entranced by Uncle C.

Just wanted to share a particularly cute moment I noticed. J and I are big fans of nicknames and Miss M has many of them: Bean (and variations Beanie, Beaner), Monkey, Peanut, Margehrita Pizza, Munchkin, etc. Uncle C spent the day with us yesterday and was hearing us repeatedly use these terms of endearment, which he has now absorbed into his own vocabulary. He was kneeling on the floor asking Miss M to walk over to him and he kept saying, "Peanut, come on over here." And another time he was playing with her and called her "Beaner". So dang cute, kinda like a big brother. Made me want to get started on a sibling!
