Who's the Baby Now?

I had the pleasure of having dinner with my oldest nephew this evening.

He's in town on spring break, visiting his dad and grandparents.

I love that boy.

He's recently turned 16 - hard to believe.

I remember driving like mad to Houston 

the day he was born.

My sister, Cindy, and I were so afraid we wouldn't 

make it in time.

He was a cutie!  And so sweet.  He still is.

He has a big heart - 

that's just one of the reasons I love him so.

He use to call me Aunt Baby...

and my sister Aunt Dee Dee.

He also use to make me cry when I had to say goodbye 

leaving Houston, heading back home to Tulsa.

He would latch onto my leg and not let go...

I would call him on the phone and tell him again how much I missed him. 

He was the only one that would let me hold him and rock him.

He still likes to be held...

I love that he sometimes still runs to give me a hug when we see each other.

He is very witty too.

Now that he's older, I appreciate his sense of humor even more.

This, however, is not funny.

Did I say how smart he is? 
 Don't tell him I said so..don't want him to get the big head!
He doesn't wear his underwear(Pull-ups) on his head anymore.
Or at least that I'm aware of.

 

I am looking forward to this summer

so I can spend some more time with him.

I'm thinking when he leaves on Sunday I'm going to

be sure and be there,

so I can throw myself prostrate on the floor and 

grab onto his leg and cry and not let go!

Love you, Tomcat!
