II - chicago baby love



We were so lucky to have a minute (really, this trip was short) to connect with Dan's theater partner and his family.  I feel like we grew up into adult-hood with J, and it is so nice to get a glimpse into this new chapter for both of us.  The girls were enthralled with 8-month old Hattie...



Also lucky for us, my cousin and his beautiful family live in Chicago!!  It is what clinched the plan for the girls and I to join him this trip.  For the girls, Rowan is their first baby love, and love it was...


the Papa - who I remember being a baby when I was about E's age!



Eliza has been primed for baby-loving for a long time. She wants to babysit, draws up posters offering her services for baby care, talks about babies.  Ani not so long ago still thought of herself as a baby, so it is really sweet to see her so smitten with a real-live little one.

Wow! Look at all that baby love! Super fun to see these. Crazy to think you and Ben were little JUST like this not so long ago.

Ohmigosh, Rowan looks so delighted to be with the girls! I think he saved up his biggest grins for them.

I love your Chicago pictures.

Baby love. So sweet. Isaac is starting to show an interest in babies too. If he sees a picture of a baby he says, "Ah...what a sweet little baby" so genuinely. LOVE it.
