The day I have been waiting for, for, well, 7 months was finally here today!
I was able to meet, hold, cuddle, play with, and generally love my baby nephew, our Finnjabi baby!
Oh how I have longed for this day!
They were over from Finland for a few short days, on the sad business of my brother’s best friend’s funeral, and stayed on a few more days, and we wanted to meet them all, so off we went to London today.
It was a most emotional day for me… I have countless ‘nephews’ and ‘nieces’ via my 6000 (slight exaggeration!) cousins, and their kids, but my Lil Finnjabi is MINE! By that I mean, my real flesh and blood, my brother’s offspring, and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a tad emotional the moment I saw him!
He looks at people he hasn’t met before, and the sign of approval is a touching of the face, and we all got that from him! But 6 hours wasn’t enough! That’s not even an hour for each month he’s been alive!
We were with him through 2 messy mealtimes, a trip to the park, and bath time.
I wish I could post a photo of him, but like me, his parents are not fans of putting personal pics of children on any media, so I can’t even physically share him with you, but I can describe!
Big, huge brown eyes twinkling from a cute little tanned skinned face, cheeks not so chubby, but enough for you to want to eat them up. A perfect nose and the gummiest smile, showing two teeth, flashing constantly! Shiny brown hair that naturally created a mohican and frames his beautiful face.
He’s a smiler, a giggler, and sitting in his bouncy chair, he waggles his legs manically to bounce himself, and he loves to growl like a bear!
The kids and Hubby Dearest are as infatuated as I am, and when it was time to go, we physically had to tear ourselves away!
But my high light was at the end when I got a few precious moments with him, no sharing, after his bath, and he kept on grabbing my face with his little hands, and pulling me down, so he could kiss/eat my nose, cheeks and lip! My brother managed to get a video of that, it’s so cute!!! As I said in my post title, I’m in love again!!!!
Counting down the next time we meet, which I know will be in October, unless we manage to arrange a trip out to them in August!!!
In other business, the scratch is better, but I definitely twisted my ankle in our dramatic rescue of the Cat Called Sonu Singh, last night, when I fell off the chair!
But I Smile Anyway...

What a beautiful post. You sound just as child centric as me. Since becoming a grandmother I have experienced such joy my heart might burst. I am so happy for you. Your description of the baby is beautiful. My little one is similar but on a very bad hair day!

Aw thank you! I have always loved children, even as a child myself, they are a gift from God!
Hence my job, as a primary teacher, and nursery teacher now, is perfect for me! 😊
