Baby munch, a bear, and a crate

One of my most favorite (little) people in the whole, wide world came visiting last week. In addition to being one of the coolest dudes in Lynchburg, he just so happens to be my one and only awesome baby munch nephew, Ian Thomas. He of course brought his mom along (he knew she would miss him) as well as his Nana -- my own momma -- because he knew she would miss him, too. =)

Just moments after his arrival, Ian had already discovered his most favorite place to play at his Auntie Rach and Uncle Chris's home: Little Bear's bed (A.K.A. crate). After dragging it out of our bedroom and into the hallway, the munch proceeded to spend each day crawling in and out, in and out, and in and out of the crate. Little Bear was his faithful companion for the duration of his visit, and frequently joined Ian on his crate adventures.



How I love this little face! :)




When Nana talks, everybody listens. ;-)




Ian modeling the multi-generational "little red jacket." My mother purchased this jacket for my oldest brother -- Ian's father -- when he was a baby. Since then, my mom has been passing the jacket down for all of the siblings, cousins, and now grand kids, to sport. This was Ian's first time wearing it, so we had to snag a few shots for the photo album. Seriously, could he be any cuter? I propose not.





Love, love, love the expression on his face here. What a little kid. :) The munch is growing up!



Love my nephew to pieces. Love being his Auntie "Ray Ray."


Sister love. Baby/bear love. :)


 Momma love.


Lots of love. So blessed to have such a wonderful, close family. Priceless.

If he WERE any cuter, we'd have to lock him up for good. Molly misses her handsome baby boyfriend!

He's becoming such a little man! Just darling in the little red jacket (which still looks new - good investment Sandra!:). Glad you ladies (and gentlemen;) had such a fun, cozy visit!
