Man, Do I Love This Baby


"Austin, you're making Auntie Nettie's knee hurt. Can we please sit down?" Wait a beat. "OK, apparently not." Up and down and up and down and up and down. But I guess he's like me- neither one of us can sit still. He likes to be walked. So it's "Shh, Jammy, Jamie, Jammy, Jammy, Jam, please don't cry." Back and forth and back and forth and- "Belle, get OUT of my way. I don't care about me getting hurt, but if you make me drop this kid...." It's not a bad drive down to Melissa's in-laws' on Lake Thurmond, through little towns called Cameron and Wagener and Modoc, green fields with I think goats. But nothing compares to my wondrous little nephew.

Someone neeeds to trim his fingernails. :) Why do babies like to scratch their faces? Anyway, glad you had a good time with your main man.

Hand chewing is good, at least at his age.

What a stunner.... he will grow up far to quickly and Aunty Nettie will soon be towered over by a huge deep-voiced, hairy chinned hunk who was once that little lad.....

That is what has happened here...nearly 16 years on - these things happen - and it only seems like yesterday. Oh dear - I had better stop this!!!!

God bless you and your lovely nephew Nettie (and your sis too)

Hey Nettie. I go through Modoc, Parksville, and McCormick on my way to Abbeville from Florida. Actually, once I get across the dam from Ga. I know I'm almost home.

Your nephew is a very cute baby by the way.

That's the wonderful thing about little boys...they grow up to be little men! Huge deep-voiced, hairy chinned hunky Beef Stroganhoffs.
