look at you

You were as pretty a baby as there ever was, just like a big, fancy doll.

Here are a couple pictures from those months when we babysat you both.

Oh my goodness.

And now, you so big, Mr. Luminous, talking and telling jokes, jumping high in the air, telling stories.

Awww, thanks for being our kid, our cousin, our baby, for being b.g.'s most excellent brother, and for coming to this whole family who loves you so much.

This family is definitely better with you in it.   Lucky, lucky us.

love forever, Grandma and Grandpa and Everybody
