My nephew... Akeem

The month of May is always crazy when it comes to schedules and events. I've gotten behind on my process, but summer is here! Must devote more time and focus to expedite my work.

I saw my nephew for the first time on my birthday weekend in May! I wanted to hold him, but I had a lingering sore throat from a cold and didn't want to take that chance. 😞 Next time, though...and hopefully, I won't have a bug.

My sister and brother-in-love came in to attend her friend's graduation. She also held a sip-and-see so family could meet the new addition: Akeem! (Yes, a Coming to America reference was made.)

What ya doin, auntie?

Kendrick's sister couldn't get enough. Even when she left to see their sister and came back, she wanted to see him just one more time and she hated to leave.

I think Akeem hammed it up while in mommy's lap. 😏 My mom already met Akeem when she went over to be with Ashley and Kendrick for the birth. I think this was G.G.'s first time meeting him... I should have made the connection; the three J's with LJ!

My cousin's daughter acted like she didn't know what to do around a baby, but she'll pay attention to a camera. 😐

The biggest fan award might have to go to my brother. As soon as he got to hold Akeem, he fell in love. He is Akeem's most staunch protector if anyone even thinks of bringing harm... The last picture is one of my favorites.

Just being able to see Akeem that weekend was a lovely birthday present. What should he call me? I think I'll go with Uncle D (only family and a couple friends know why).
