Becoming Auntastic :)

I am absolutely obsessed with being an aunt! I'm pretty obnoxious about it as well. For instance, every time someone even takes slight interest in the most recent additions to my family... I whip out photos. I've joked that I'm going to get one of those long clear plastic photo flaps for my wallet and string it out a mile long with baby pictures... It could happen.


The one downfall to all these babies being born at once is the fact that-as a college student, my pockets are very shallow, yet somehow I manage to purchase something every single time I pass any store with baby clothes. I was at the Polo outlet yesterday buying my dad a birthday present, and I noticed the children's section... so of course I went over. Who knew a baby polo shirt could brighten my whole day?? I know I'm not the only one who feels this way because I talked to my roommate about it later... I showed her the little shirt... (Yes I bought it!) and she flipped... she oooed and ahhed and awwwed... I started to think about how ridiculous people act around babies with all the high pitched voices and the fat squishing talk. People even say cannibalistic things to babies, like "I could eat you up with a spoon!" I thought about how less than two minutes ago I showed her the exact same shirt in a men's medium, and her reaction was a straight faced.. "Yeah... that's really nice... I like the color..." BUT... the second I pulled out the EXACT same shirt.. in an infant 6-9 months.... she jumps up.. grabs it... and turns into a raging lunatic...

I guess it's true what they say.....

...The best things in life come in small packages!
