look closely at this photo. Eleanor is clearly in some personal distress. I think the social services phone number should be on speed dial...]
First of all. Aunts. Goh mohs, Eee Mohs.
How do you pronounce it? Aunt like british people? or ANT like the bug?
Everyone wants to be an Aunt. Come in from out of town. Touch the baby in the face to exacerbate baby acne, kiss the baby with lipstick on, hold the baby whenever she whines a little. Then go home as soon as the baby has a poopie diaper, or whenever the baby wants to feed at 2:30 in the AM? Sure...
Aunts do serve a purpose. They are family. They usually spend some of their own money to buy the baby things that the parents would not want to. Uncles, non relatives you have the green light to follow these patterns as well. PLEASE...
Aunts are also the people the baby will usually think fondly of. Wondering when that Auntie will visit again.
And when we need to take a 2 weeker to Aruba... we will definitely cash in some auntie points. So its all fun and games until the baby poop isnt so cute anymore.
Its my prayer that both aunt's pictured above will be able to procreate and experience the complete joy and wonderment of being a parent. I hope trying to squeeze a baby out for 9.5 hrs. will bring you closer to the creator of the universe, because you will be crying out to him.
Not that life is complete, because it wont be until well, when my baby gets a diploma, married and has a baby of her own. Oh yeah, when they bring back betamax, then life will be complete.
I appreciate both aunts. Just be on notice that the gifts and stuff should really never end.
I updated the Babiesrus.com registry. Big ticket items too! hahaha
More relative updates as i feel neccessary

Here's another picture, since the cord fell off, she was able to receive a real bath. well in an 18 qt dish pan. Don't tell the baby.

there's also auntie (or "antie") too, not to make things more complicated.
