Cruz or Shoe?

Reading to her Shoe.

This is where Ceal wildly pushes Cruz. Aisha allows it. He will be a champ on the roller coasters.

Cleaning TiTi's house.

Ceal thinks everything that is Cruz's is hers.

The yummiest baby on the block.

Ceal loves to call Cruz Shoe, because that is how she can pronounce it. She screams, "Shoe, shoe, shoe." She loves him. TiTi is very good about allowing Ceal to do just about everything with Cruz. She likes to watch TiTi or I change his diaper, feed his bottle, or push him in the swing, which can be a little crazy. Cruz does not love Ceal's loud talking or screaming. He will begin to cry and then Ceal will say, "Bad Shoe, Bad." Not good, but we are trying to teach her that Cruz does not love her loud voice. He is the sweetest baby until you have to stay up with him all night. He does not sleep the best, and my poor sister may be put in a home. He is the chubbiest baby, and carrying him up the stairs may put your back out. I have to be told to stop smothering him with kisses, because he can't breathe.

When I say Ceal is obsessed, this is a major understatement. She carries his picture around with her. She asks me 10 times a day to show her more pictures of shoe. When I went to the baby doctor the other day Ceal pointed to the pictures on the wall and screamed, "Shoe, Shoe!!" It was a baby that looked a lot like Cruz. I tried to calm her down by saying yes, sure, and let's be quiet because all the other women are looking at us. However, Ceal could not believe her eyes. She was sure this framed baby was Shoe and she jumped up and down yelling Shoe!! I then had to tell the behaved women in the waiting room that she thinks her cousin is in the picture. One woman laughed which helped while the others looked on. I can't wait for them to have their babies, because Karma is real.
