Mini Me

This picture was taken in 1978. The woman is my maternal grandmother, Millie Ross. The baby is me! Not sure exactly how old I am in the picture, but I do look a lot like the little girl in this picture...

Baby Love

My sister bought this sweet baby for Catelynn before she was born. At about 6 months, I gave it to her. Every night she snuggles up with it, pops her thumb in her mouth, and drifts off to sleep. Adorable!

Deja Vu

To quote a song by Shirley Bassey:
"They say the next big thing is here
That the revolution's near
But to me it seems quite clear
That it's all just a little bit of history repeating"

Both videos were taken of the kids at nine months old!

Brothers and Sisters

It is so great to see Catelynn through Wesley's eyes. He loves that girl! And she adores him right back. Despite her resistance, he insists upon giving her a hug and kiss before bedtime and naps. They love to entertain each other in the car (usually very loudly!). When she squeals and yells, he says, "Mommy, she is singing her opera." He calls blowing raspberries her "spit opera." She watches him all the time. In fact, the first time she crawled, it was at his prompting and following his example! I'm sure their relationship will not be without its occasional discord and rivalries, but I hope it is always dominated by love.
