Who Loves Ya, Baby?

I realize that I used the word "baby" twice this past week.  But I had no idea that I'd be talking about a Real Live baby this time.  And I am!!!  My brother and sister in-law had their baby boy and we are getting up at the bumcrack of dawn today to hit the road so that we can go and see him.  I cannot even begin to describe how excited I am to be on my way....just thinking about little Ameer is making me smile like an idiot.  I was so happy all day long that instead of packing us up, I did what any rational new auntie would do:

I baked boatloads of goodies.  I have no idea why.  It's not like Ameer can eat any of that stuff...but I just wanted to do...something.

I guess I figured that normally when you have a new baby people bring by dinners, but nobody ever thinks about those snackish moments that you have at three in the morning after a feeding.  And there is nothing better to fill that craving than Coconut Kiwi Muffins, Cupcakes, Cinnamon Bread and Brownies.  Am I right?

Anyway, I'm going to be gone for a couple of days - but when I return I'm hoping to have lots of squishy baby pictures to share with you.  I'm so happy to be meeting my baby nephew!!
