The Life of an Auntie

In the past two years, Ryan and I's siblings have been very busy. So busy that we are now the proud aunt and uncle of four adorable nephews, ranging from age 2 to just a couple of months old. I thought that my blog would be a perfect opportunity to do some auntie bragging. :)



Ryan's oldest brother, Chris, and his wife, Tara, started it all with the birth of our first nephew, Landen. He is now 2 years old and is full of energy and charm. His big, trademark Bilby blue eyes and blonde hair are evidence of his daddy's dominant genes (Sorry to get all biological here, anyways....).

Landen

Landen was followed by my oldest sister, Megan, and her husband, Stephen's first baby, Max Bailey. He is almost 2 and is quite the intelligent little human being. He is jabbering new phrases everyday and even managed to call Auntie Erin all by himself once. He is looking more and more like his mommy, and I think he is even starting to resemble his Gramp pa Mustache (my dad), as Max says.

Next, along came Wild Man. Wilder Raine Dunning Harris was born to my second-oldest sister, Mindy, and her husband, Shawn, in August of this year. What a cutie!!! He has GIANT blue eyes, which he inherited from Mindy who, when I was little, used to scare me by bugging out her huge blue eyes! Wilder is a very alert baby and loves anything that has to do with flashing lights (He never tries to watch tv....hehe). He also must tolerate extreme mangling sessions from his mommy and aunties. EEEEEEEE!

Finally, but definitely probably not the last to come, Chris and Tara just had their second baby, Logan Christopher in November. He is one BIG baby and was the easiest newborn to hold (because he wasn't newborn size! ;) He is very laid back and tolerant of his older brother Landen, even though Landen decided to push Logan off Mommy and Daddy's bed while Mommy was out of the room for one minute......

Logan

Being an auntie has been such a delight. Landen, Max, Wilder, and Logan have brought so much fun and happiness to Ryan and I, and we can't wait to be there to watch them grow older and most definitely, SPOIL THEM ROTTEN! After all, they are "practically perfect in every way."

P.s. I don't know how to rotate pics on this thing, so let me know the secret anyone!

You have to rotate the pics before you post them to the blog. Wherever you pics are saved on your computer is where you go to rotate, then you have to make sure it saves! Make sense? Good luck with finals, or are you already done? B has dead week next week and finals the following. he is SOOOO ready to be done with school. 2 more semesters left!

I love this post, Sissy. What a lucky Auntie you are indeed--lots of babies running around so the focus is off of when it's your turn!! hehe
