Photo of the week: Meet the new cousin!

My own little brother, Ryan, and his wife, Kat, recently embarked on the journey of parenthood. Baby Sydney officially joined the family last November.

Christmas provided the perfect photo opportunity of the new cousins all together. We plopped them in front of the tree and gently placed the new baby in Noah’s arms. He cradled her gently saying “cheese” when he was prompted while Nicholas sat close by.

All was going well until uncle Ryan, having snapped the very picture he wanted, mindlessly blurted out, “OK! Who’s ready for presents?”

Hello? There are two preschool age boys coddling your daughter and you mention “presents!”

Naturally, plop went Sydney, right onto the floor. She rolled (softly) from Noah’s lap as he dropped his arms and hopped up, eager to tear open his packages. Startled she was, as were the new parents, but Sydney remained unharmed.

This photo was snapped just seconds before the now humorous incident occurred.

Chalk one up to lessons learned. I’ll keep that in mind when our new baby is introduced to his/her big brothers.
