A Day In The Life of Vin and Auntie Ash

Just in case you were wondering... phonetically, it's pronounced "an-ee ash". Thank you for respecting my chosen name and saying it correctly. The baby may struggle with it at first, but I'll make sure it sticks.

SO. Until Brooke chooses a nanny (at which point we will throw a party), Alyssa and I keep Vin on Thursdays. Oh how we cherish our time with the OtherOther White Meat. I REALLY REALLY cherish nap time and bottle time. BECAUSE I strive to adhere to the lifestyle outlined by his parents, as those are important aspects of raising him in a structured routine........................... and also because he is very quiet during those times. And because I think it's funny to feed him in non-traditional positions when he gets squirmy.



Today I asked him if he wanted to do a photo shoot, and being MY nephew, was all "DUH. Get your camera lady." So I did and he struck the perfect pose.



Then we played a new game I call 'Chase Me Around This Ottoman, You'll Like That"... and he did


It wasn't until the Zany Zoo that things got crazy with Auntie Ash. He likes it when I get crazy.


But because he's an introvert, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN MY FAMILY, he asked me to leave him alone for a minute with the balloons to recharge.


But, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN MY FAMILY, he was back for more Auntie Ash in no time


Suckas.
