Meeting a new cousin

We recently got to meet our new nephew/cousin Spencer!

He's a sweet, sturdy, easy-going 9-month-old who loves wheels and cheerios and backpack rides and big kids!

Big Spencer/Uncle Will/Uncle Wiggly/Uncle Snuggly with his nieces and nephew:

K felt a bit displaced, as she is no longer the baby in the group or the youngest grandchild. She eventually realized, though, that it's fun to be old enough to somersault across the grass and tell stories rather than just crawl and babble.

C, as an older sister who'd already experienced the baby-displacement blues when K was born, loved playing with Spencer. She'd call his name in a sweet, sing-song voice that made him smile every single time.
