little miracle

My nephew is almost five months now, and he is the cutest baby ever. What's been amazing about his arrival is that he has brought the family closer.

Not only do I have an excuse to visit my brother more because of the baby, but the rest of the family gather more frequently.

Observations about B has become ways to connect the entire family. Who he looks like (my sister-in-law's father) and behaves like (me). Why he is so chubby/large for his age. Who is the best at caring for him (my brother!).

Being around a helpless baby makes everyone more caring and feel a sense of purpose.

Having B in my life still makes me neutral about having kids. Still, I am glad my brother and sister-in-law decide to start their family. B has been a little miracle to our family.
