after months of saying we’d talk on skype, i finally got to see my new baby nephew, my sister, brother-in-law, and very precocious niece in real time from the other side of the world.

the last time i saw any of them nearly a year ago, rex was still nameless and yet to be born and isis was much smaller, but still very sharp. i’ve only spent time with isis a few times since she was born and i always worry she won’t remember me. that didn’t seem to be the case the other night.

technology allowed me to join all of them for breakfast and to witness first hand the… insanity that they experience every day. it was pretty great. rex is huge, well mannered and, according to my sister, quite cuddly. isis, on the other hand, is also adorable, like a tiny little person, and has a mind of her own. apparently she’s taken to bossing kids (and adults) around and possessive. i find it all very entertaining and quite cute, though i imagine i’d feel differently if i had to deal with it day in and day out. this is one of the reasons i love being an uncle.

anyway, while waiting for food, i got a chance to see and “chat” with rex, which meant the computer camera couldn’t be centered on isis. this she did not like and insisted that i was NOT rex’s uncle, only HER uncle! i loved that and it made my day.

now with that said, i have some videos of my new nephew, courtesy of my sister:
