This is my oldest grand nephew. It's not really a baby picture, but I thought I'd submit it, along with a repost of a blog I wrote about him some time ago.



TO BE A KID AGAIN
April 2006

I'm not a Mom. It would have been nice to have been one, but it just wasn't to be part of my journey here on earth. I do have a nephew and a niece for which I have enjoyed some great times with.

My nephew and his wife live in another state. They have a six year old named Devin. I have not met my nephew's wife, nor Devin, but we talk on the phone weekly and I have grown to love them very much.

It pleases me to no end that my grand nephew likes to call me. He had a little bit of a problem with his speech for a while and still tends to talk a little to fast, but we can carry on a fairly decent conversation.

He called me today to tell me he lost his first tooth. Apparently, he and a friend were playing and had a shoe tied on a pole, swinging it around. Well, guess the shoe got a little too close to his mouth, and whack ... tooth out. They think he probably swallowed it. When I responded with excitement for him, he said "Yeah, well it's about time!" I laughed. I guess all his little school buddies were losing their teeth and he was feeling a little left out.

That's what is so neat about little kids .... every "first" for them is like winning the lottery. I love it.

Little kids are so proud of losing their teeth! He is a handsome boy! Makes me want to reach under that arm pit and tickle him!

If you can't go through life laughing, then why bother going!

Nice looking boy.
He looks as though he has a good sense of fun.

How odd that he is missing some bottom teeth, it's usually the top set that go missing first. He'll love that picture as he grows into adulhood and beyond.
