{ baby riley }

this weekend was a very special one, to say the least.

first of all, i got to meet my beautiful niece riley (my brother-in-law's daughter).

isn't she sweet? she's wearing the onesie and headband her aunt got her :)

i also made her a headband with a bow i crocheted.

now i just need to find a shirt that says "my auntie loves me" 

or something ridiculous like that.

unfortunately i never thought about snapping photos until

just before she left, when she was fast asleep in her car seat. silly me.

next time i see her, 

i will most likely go snap happy to make up for it. 

i still can't believe i'm an aunt.

the circumstances are certainly not ideal,

but she's a precious, beautiful baby all the same,

and i'm excited to be a part of her life :)
