Cousin Will





Meet William King Niquette. He was born on July 6th and weighed in an ounce under five pounds. Will is my sister Jenn's first child and he lives in Baltimore. Considering he decided to enter the world six weeks early, he is doing incredibly well. And he's clearly, incredibly cute!





As you can also see, Cally was incredibly thrilled to meet her little cousin. She wanted to pet him like she would her cat, Lobster and dog, Zephy. But mostly, he just wanted to sleep.



It seems like ages ago that we had to do things like support Cally's head and gingerly change her diapers or were able to have her sleep for extended periods of time on our chest......... But we jumped back into it and even did some babysitting so Jenn and Rob could go out to the movies. Will is such a good-natured little guy. He's doing a lot of sleeping, eating, pooping and growing right now.

As much as Will was the reason for our visit to Baltimore...... John and Rob managed to get out to see the Red Sox play the Orioles on Saturday night at Camden Yard:

And on Sunday, we visited with John's good buddy from Bates, Bradley Turner and his beautiful family. He and Felicity live a couple of miles from my sister and rarely have a dull moment with their two kids Henry and Ruby. After a delicious brunch, Bradley and Henry took us on a great tour of Baltimore-- including some of the 'hoods from "The Wire".
