Getting to know the family....

When you are finally old enough to look at this book,  you will know the familiar feeling of climbing on daddy's lap to read a book.

Your dad is a great reader!  He does all the voices of the character and if you close your eyes for a moment, you can imagine you are in the book with the characters!  Yep, he's that good.

You will find your daddy is loving and soft spoken, even if you are pestering him!  He will always be there for you even if he's gone on a trip for work, he is only a phone call away if you need him.  He is also turning out to be a great cook!  Mama is feeling pretty whoozy right now and looking at food makes her feel yucky.  So daddy has picked up the cooking for everyone so that mama will eat properly.  He knows you depend on good food to grow big inside her tummy.  I hope you won't be as picky an eater as your brother Miles!  He likes to "smell" his food before he eats it and if he doesn't like the way it smells, won't even touch it!  But he does love him some pancakes!

One of the best things about your mama is her cuddles!  As you can see here, if you are not feeling well, she's got a nice snuggle place for you to use.  As the days goes on, she is getting excited about getting to hold you and give you butterfly kisses!

Did I mention that she is also a GREAT book reader too?  You are so lucky as you have two parents who love books and love to read them to their children.  Now, Miles has trained them well for you and they will be used to reading the same book over and over!

This is Ojo holding Miles the day he was born.  I know he is looking forward to having that same feeling when they place YOU in his arms.  You have this terrific grandfather!

He loves to run after you and play hide and seek and loves to see his grand babies laugh!  He will spend hours just playing with you.  He has so much patience.  The best part is he loves to help you have fun in the bath tub!  By the time Miles and Ojo are done with bath, there are bubbles everywhere!  But oh, the laughter you hear as they talk away....

Nana could hardly wait till Miles was born as she wanted to be a grandmother so bad!  She loves to come up and visit or have you go to Maryland to visit.  You can see all the love on her face here as she held Miiles for the first time.

When she found out mama and daddy were having another little boy she was so excited.  Remember, she had two boys too!  So she could see right away how much fun it would be for you to have a little brother.  Your daddy is very close to Uncle Rory and I think you will be very close to your brother Miles.  

Rory is very excited about being an uncle.  His wife Tara will be a wonderful aunt!  They live far away but I know will get back to see you as much as possible.  He will be the fun Uncle to go visit some day!

See how gentle he is here with Miles?  Imagine him holding you in the same loving way.  You will never lack for arms to hold you!
