Living the Aunt Life- Kisses and Smooches

     Hey all! Welcome back to my blog!

     As I write this post I am excited to announce I am officially an aunt! Aunt Sarah- has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
     A week or 2 ago my older sister gave birth to her first born baby, a little boy she and Justin named Jonas Richard after my late grandpa Richard.
     He's a little nugget of cuddles and I love to give him multiple kisses and smooches on his adorably fuzzy head.

      Kidlet and I totally have to be quick on our feet if we want a chance to hold baby JT.

 

      I was pretty chill about meeting baby JT when I walked into the hospital room where he was, but once I got him in my arms I got this dorky smile on my face and I instantly wanted to smother him in kisses and cuddles. That's normal, right. . .?

     This lil' nugget has my whole heart! He's so sweet and innocent and I pray he grows up knowing he is loved and cherished- not only by those in his family but by His Father who created him and "knit him together in his mothers womb" Psalm 139:13.
     When I look at Jonas I'm in awe of the God in Heaven who created this piece of wonder. I think of those 9 months and 7 days he spent curled up in his mommas belly, being molded into the tiny human he came into the world as.
     I remember thinking to myself while Emily was pregnant, "I can't believe there's a baby in her tummy!" I'd seen many mothers before, obviously, but now it was totally new to me and I was so frightened to touch her belly before he was born. There was a real life thing in there and it was kind of weird, if I'm totally honest!

     All in all, I've caught the fever and I'm waiting patiently for my turn to welcome a precious life into this world with my husband and hold him in my arms in the middle of the night. Life truly is a gift and little JT reminds me of this!
