Kissin' Cousins

Leo was first-cousinless until a few weeks ago when Baby Elizabeth Maureen Simcik was born to Uncle "Safety Dave" and Aunt Laura on 10/17. Leo has only met Baby Ellie through Skype twice and seen some of her pictures on the computer. Still, he can't stop talking about her. Sometimes he just randomly shouts, "Baby Ah-yee!"

Yesterday I told him Granny Jo was coming to visit and he said, "Baby Ah-yee?" I think he thinks Granny Jo is going to bring Baby Ellie since they were on Skype together. And when we got on Skype to call Frank's parents, we said, "Leo, who are we going to call?" He said, "Baby Ah-yee!"

He thinks every baby is Baby Ellie--babies in books, babies out in public and a birth announcement we have on our fridge of Baby Celia. Sorry, Courtney and John, we don't bother correcting him! It's easier just to go along with it:


And here she is, beautiful Baby Ellie! We all can't wait to meet Baby Ah-yee at Christmas!

Ah Baby Ay-yee is adorable! Can't wait to see photos of the cousins when they get together in person!

Oh and Baby Celia looks precious too from what I can see! I love her name!

I was just reading Leo his stories before bed. When we were done he got off my lap, ran over to his books and picked up this one called "Mama and Me" about animals and their moms. The last page is about human babies and mommies. He said, "Baby Ah-yee" because he thinks the baby on the last page is Baby Ellie. After we read it he said, "Night Night, Baby Ah-yee."

I'll tell Baby Celia that Leo was giving her kisses, even if he thought it was someone else. Baby Ellie is so cute!
