I'm in love. I don't know how it happened but it did.

OK, he's on the short side and a bit small but he's the most amazing thing in the whole wide world. I became an aunt today and I'm totally head over heels. He's the most beautiful baby boy I have ever seen and I swear it's not just because he's my nephew.

It's weird. I truly loved my niece and nephew, who were Steve's sister's children, and spent a great deal of time with them. But this is different. I think there is a different feeling when it's your own sibling's children.

The look on my brother's face as he held his son melted my heart. He is a changed man. As I look at my nephew, I am filled with happiness and love.

I'm looking forward to teaching him new things and spending as much time with him as I can. My life has just changed and it's for something wonderful. I'm so happy my family has something to be happy about, and someone else to focus on and worry about.

My nephew's birth has made the end of 2007 an amazing time for the Rosenthal family. I can't stop smiling.
