Vicarious Living

I'm over the moon for my brother and his wife Jen who had their first baby two days ago. I've seen a couple pictures, and this kid is going to be a heart breaker! OK, he already is.

Babies have been on the mind for quite some time (DUH!), and so this little bundle of sweet-smelling, soft, cuddly love is making me physically ache.

Brian commented the other day I would like to go out to California and steal that baby, but I replied, "No, I couldn't do that to someone I love. I would only steal a stranger's baby." We both shared a little chuckle, but I'm beginning to think there's a tiny part of me that just might! It's that same little speck of crazy in me that wants the world to bend to my every whim.

For now, I'm going to live vicariously through my sister-in-law and brother's new-found parenthood. I'm going to love that swaddled little man with all my heart and promise never, ever, EVER to steal him. He's got the best mommy on earth anyway; he needs her.
