meet my.. um.. relative, dylan

so, i know i've said i'm sooooo not looking to have kids, like ANYTIME soon. but that doesn't mean i don't think they're ridiculously adorable :-) this is my little second-cousin-once-removed, dylan. (i think that's what she is? what relation to me is my cousin's baby?) dylan had a total crush on my boyfriend, but unfortunately those pictures are on his phone and not on my computer. (the whole jevwitcle non-episode was due to her presence at my house, since her mom and dad live on the west coast and the jevwitcle crew hadn't yet met her. or her dad.)

so! here's dylan! :-) it was about 400 degrees that day, so she liked playing with then drinking the water i had:

is it me, or does my hand look very manly here??

this is my little sister elizabeth, who had an enormous fear of babies until this picture:

dylan still looks a little concerned, though..

and this is after my bf and i took dylan inside when she got tired and fussy, and i sat down at the piano with her on my lap to let her play. she was too tired to push hard enough on the keys, though, so i ended up playing for her with her still on my lap, and she fell asleep snuggled into my chest. i love how you can get up and move to the couch with a sleeping baby on your chest and she won't wake up :-)

i love how she hooks her little finger into our shirts like that

aww. hee. babies. this picture wasn't from that weekend, but it's awesome, so i'm including it for your viewing pleasure as well:

i totally want this bathing suit
