No, I haven’t been keeping a secret. My cousin and his partner have just welcomed a gorgeous baby girl into their family.

To say Love Bug is besotted would not be doing her feelings justice! She mentions my baby cousin at least a few times each day, and on Friday night when we were laying together after story time, she started saying the cutest things. Of course I asked her to repeat them so that I could capture them on film. {click on the photo below to see the video}

Then, when I thought she was almost asleep, she opened her eyes: mumma, guess what I can see when I close my eyes? My Baby Carmen. I’m carrying her. She is 3 and I am 8.

She then promptly fell asleep with her arms like this – she must still be carrying her baby cousin.
