My nephew *is* absolutely adorable. He insists on the mohawk so he can be just like his daddy, who is 6'3" and probably at least 300 pounds. You should see them together! My big giant of a brother and his wee little shadow, both with their blond mohawks and sleeveless shirts. It's a riot.

Two and a half is a great age. They're making so much progress at that age, you can practically see them learn and grow before your eyes. I'm enjoying eight. He's old enough to hold actual conversations with me, and young enough to still want to do so. :o)
