Well the most exciting thing that happened to me over Christmas break was that I became an aunt! My nephew, Ryan Milan, was born on Friday, January 12th at 9:35 p.m. He weighed about 7 lbs and was 21 inches long. My dad and I got to visit him when he was only about 15 hours old. He had a full head of hair, and even though he "still kind of looked like a conehead" according to my brother, he definitely resembled both my brother and sister-in-law. Before we went to the hospital, my dad and I stopped at Hallmark to buy a card and present. My dad ended up buying his new grandson a "manly" lion stuffed animal. It was so funny to see my dad freak out once we got to the hospital. He kept saying, "Oohhhh my gosh, I'm going to see my grandson, oohhhh my gosh, I'm a grandpa". We definitely got a few looks in the elevator. Ryan's mom is Croatian, and that's where his middle name comes from. He was such a laid-back boy when we saw him. I know the parents were hoping that continued once he got home. Apparently he only slept about 45 minutes the first night back, but he's getting better. It's very exciting to become an aunt, although it does make me feel a little old. I'm looking forward to spoiling him, playing with him, watching him grow, and providing him with Badger clothes!

Yeah it is really cool having nieces and nephews around. I have three nephews and two nieces and I wouldn't trade them for anything. It is so interesting because they are so impressionable. It is also fun being a role model when they start growing up. You get all of the benefits with being around a baby and child without having all of the responsibilities that go along with them (a.k.a. cleaing up, changing diapers, getting up at 3 in the morning). Anyways congratulations on becoming an aunt and have fun!
