Always loved
As I imagine you can tell by the title this is about one of my very favorite name given to me by 3 little monkeys! Nieces and nephews bring a type of love to my life I never would have imagined I needed! This is the closest feeling of parenthood I have felt to this point. I would do ANYTHING to keep my babies safe! I wasn’t SUPER close with any of my aunts, but now being an aunt, I understand the love they had even though we weren’t and aren’t close!
A monkey
At 11 years old I met the baby that would eventually become family. He was loved as ours from day one! He spent every weekend at our house, I LOVED IT! Because even then if I could I always had a baby on my hip (some things never change)! My Blane was such a sweet boy! Hearing him say my name for the first time is a heart melting experience I can’t express! I knew he was always ours but when his mom and my brother got married, my brother adopted him and now not only is he ours at heart, he’s ours by name! He will always be my baby. But this baby will be 9! *Hold back the sappy tears*! To this day, he gave me the title of “aunt”! He is the only one who no matter where we are or who is around, he will come sit in my lap or lay on me! The love I have for that boy is indescribable!
A Firey Red-Headed Princess
When I found out I was going to be an aunt again, I was ECSTATIC! When I found out it was a girl I was even more excited! Now I would have a nephew and a niece! We should have known from the day she was born she was going to do things her way! Because after HOURS on waiting in a hospital to make her appearance, my mom and I went to get coffee before the cafeteria closed on this COLD November night! By the time we walked across the hospital and came back she was already born! And she has certainly done things her way since then! She had strawberry blonde hair at birth but it didn’t take long to come in full on RED HAIR! And boy it didn’t take long to figure out she had the temper to go with it! Our Braelynn Aurora, She sure is a spit fire! Having (now) 2 brothers, she is TOUGH. But she will knock them out, dressed as a princess with her make up and nails done. She gave me a side kick! Aunt Sissy has probably gotten her into things mom and dad wouldn’t likely recommend! 😉
Baby Bug
The last of my babies! To find out I was going to be an aunt to 3! I was happier to have another kiddo to love! Realizing sister would probably rule the roost if she had a sister I was voting boy, and I was right! Our little Rowan Tucker! He made a fairly quick appearance and ironically completely the opposite from Sister, as a baby he would NOT let me hold him, but later on he has decided I’m okay! Lol! He’s the sleep fighter but he is a snuggle bunny when he sleeps! It’s so sweet o hold sleeping babes! His personality is far different that both of his siblings! He reminds me of Eyore! He just does his own thing, he’s pretty quiet, and does things kinda slow! 💖
Aunt Sissy
Well my sister in law has a sister name Danielle, as well so I am Aunt Sissy! And hearing my babies say my name for the first time is so heart melting! The youngest two I have been able to get one of their first times saying my name on video! Aunt Sissy loves all 3 of them with my whole heart! If you didn’t notice, the titles about each kiddo, is their nickname from me! Blane is “Monkey”, Braelynn is “Princess”, and Rowan is “Bugs”! Odd but they are fitting! I love being an Aunt more than words could ever say!
