Meet My Niece!

have to preface this post by saying that these are NOT my niece's official first portraits yet... while I REALLY wanted to do that in the first 5-10 days of her life (the ideal span of time for newborn portraits), it just wasn't the right time for all the parties involved. So, we will do them next Friday before we leave. But for now, I will just share a few pics from our brief first meeting yesterday.

Meet my sweet sweet BEAUTIFUL niece Eloise... she is so precious! I am so incredibly excited to be an aunt and to watch her grow and spoil her in ways I can't spoil my own daughter. But, even more so, I am really excited to watch Claire and Eloise grow up so close in age. Claire wasn't super interested in her this trip (though she did give her a kiss)... but that could be because my brother and sister-in-law have DOGS (claire's current obsession). Anyway... Congrats to my brother and sister-in-law, and happy viewing to the rest of you!

Claire loves her Uncle Dave and Aunt Katy... but she also loves my old-school phone and a classic remote (note dog toy in hand, also)

sweet baby girl! (a lot of these look alike, but who can get enough of a newborn?!)

she's holding her daddy's thumb.

makes me melt to see my brother love his daughter so...

FAVORITE!!!

mommy saying good-night.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
