My new nephew.
I'm a first-time uncle, so forgive me for bragging. He's two months old now and has just started smiling. His father, my BIL, though, was not smiling yesterday. His Eagles lost. I love the little duder and just wanted to share.

3. Thanks, BarenakedLady.
His two gay uncles have already started spoiling him silly. I just got these pictures from my sister and couldn't wait to show him off.

4. I can't believe how much he's changed already.
He's very well behaved, to boot. His Christening is next Sunday. Yet another opportunity to spoil him!

Haven't changed any diapers yet, but have cuddled him to sleep many times.

15. I wish I could say he takes after his uncle.
But I was adopted so no shared genes.

My sister called tonight and wanted reassurance on how cute the little dude is. I couldn't stop telling her how much we love him and how he it SOOO not an ugly baby.

Thanks, Southpawkicker.

11. What a cute, happy little guy
Your expression of your pride and love for him made me think of this word-
avuncular \uh-VUHNG-kyuh-luhr\, adjective:
1. Of or pertaining to an uncle.
2. Resembling an uncle, especially in kindness or indulgence.

20. I used to be terrified of babies.
I was always afraid to hold them for fear of dropping them. Over the last few years, as some our friends started having kids, I got more comfortable handling them. Now, I feel like a pro with my new buddy.

14. He is adorable!
:D

Win or lose, I'm sure the emotions of the game melted away as soon as your BIL saw his little guy. The game's not important, but his smiling son is. :hi:

21. I love him soo much.
And the BIL should get used to it by now. I tried to cheer him up by reminding him the the little buddy could grow-up and one day play for the Eagles. He agreed.

:hi:

23. Funny you should ask...
My sister and BIL consider themselves "conservative". They sort of are, but aren't frothing at the mouth crazies. They're Reagan Republicans and I think they will be instilling those unfortunate values into my little buddy.

But he's got his gay uncles to show him the light so only time will tell.

My BIL recently told my sister that he's be fine if his kid was gay, as long as he isn't a Mets fan (like his unkie).
