Alex adora a prima Jessica

When we announced we were pregnant, everyone felt so sorry for my cousin Jessica. Since she is studying abroad in Barcelona for a year, she missed most of my pregnancy and the birth of Alex.

But the joke's on everyone else! Jess just got to spend nine straight days with our little man, and she can safely say (at this point) that she is the family member that he knows best!

We knew Alex would love Jess -- and why not? She has no shame and will do anything to get a smile (and sometimes even a laugh) out of him!

More on the Spain trip later, but here are some pictures of Alex and Jess. They don't even do her justice as to how much Alex enjoyed her!
