I'm sure everyone says this but I have the cutest niece. I’m lucky to have a real cute niece who is turing 3 TODAY. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 3 years since she made “Christmas in July”(she was born on July 25th) I do remember I was in the midst of driving back and forth to Philadelphia that summer lugging all of my personal possessions for my final move at the end of the summer. Melissa was as big as a boat and I got the call that things had started to move. Luckily it took some time for Nora to make her appearance so I was able to see Melissa before the final labor process began. I was the FIRST of the Socha clan to get my hands on her. She was so tiny and cute I could have died! I soaked her up for the next month and then I had to head out to Philly to start my adventures in being a Nanny and hopefully get into a nursing program (Luckily I was accepted AND passed). The night before I left I went over to Lissa and T-Pet’s casa for some last bits of snuggles. I must have looked like a crazy person. Melissa is in the kitchen taking a break while I was with Nora crying. Melissa was alarmed, “What’s wrong?” I started balling that Nora wasn’t going to know who I was since she wasn’t going to be seeing me as often. Psshhh, I was freaking out over nothing. Skype dates gave me the chance to see Nora and I drove home as often as I could to see as much as I could. I love to go home but the real reason I go back as often as I do is to see Nora. I want her to know who I am. I wish Melissa didn’t have to feed her so much because she grew at an alarming rate. I guess that happens with kids. As Nora grew she became more and more exciting. It was fun to watch her roll around, then she was clapping, watching her starting to walk was fun too (like a drunk sailor) and then she started to talk. I could have died when she started to say my name. (Even though she still gets me confused with Emma, I don’t know how…) Every time I go home we get to do more and more things. Last time I went to VT we hit up Duke’s creemee stand, our first unsupervised outing. It took her FOREVER to eat her cone. It was only filled to the brim, not even a full baby creemee. Melted, sticky mess everywhere. While we were sitting there she was chatting away “ It’s a beautiful day, tomorrow we go to the library? Baby brother can’t eat ice cream, makes his belly sick” I just love her too much. Now when we Skype she asks me “ Whatcha doin Ashee?” and jumps around like a Mexican jumping bean. She says crazier and crazier things. She recently is really into “boobie shows”, I don’t even know what that is. She is just the best little person. My sister and T-Pet have taken the hard job of parenthood and molded such a wonderful little person. Now not only do I have the most wonderful little niece to love, I ALSO HAVE A NEPHEW! I can’t wait to see what kind of a person Henry turns into. I just know I can’t wait to go home and spend time with both of them, oh yeah and I guess I should probably see the rest of the fam too.
Warning, this post might be a little sappy

AuthorI am an aquarius who likes long walks on the beach and the flicker of candle light. If you haven't noticed yet, Just kidding! I'm a Vermonter who has left my beautiful home state in search of adventure. This blog contains all of my favorite things, mostly food so that my family back home can keep tabs on me. Mom & Dad I'm still alive!!!! Side note: I am terrible at spelling and grammar. There are bound to be typos all over this blog. It's like Where's Waldo.
