My new Cousin... awwww

[2angelsinheaven]

She is a CUTIE! I guess she would be my 1st cousin, she is my cousin's little girl. I can't imagine how excited she must be. Of course they live in Utah, which is forever away so it's going to be awhile till I can meet the little one, but I got some very cute photos of her yesterday. She was born in October and her name is Brooklyn.

Brooklyn is a CUTIE!!! Those chubby cheeks are just begging to be kissed.

Your cousin would be your first cousin. Your first cousin's child is your first cousin, once removed. Your child and your cousin's child would be second cousins. Confusing? You bet!

To figure out what relationship two people have, start by identifying your nearest shared ancestor. For instance, you and your cousin probably share a grandfather. One generation down from = siblings. Two generations down= first cousins. Three generations down = second cousins. Four generations = third cousins, etc.

When the two people you're comparing are not the same number of generations removed from the ancestor, the "removed" stuff comes in. You and the child of your first cousin are first cousins, once removed. You and the GRANDchild of your first cousin are first cousins, twice removed.

It would make more sense if I could draw a picture...

Anyway, Brooklyn is just as cute as she can be!

She's adorable! Her eyes just sparkle.

Her cookie reminds me of when my brother and I were kids, we went to a home day care after school and during the summers. I remember a little baby went there too - his name was Bobby. The babysitter gave him those Gerber cookies and we were grossed out by the mess. We would holler "Ewww, Bobby's cookie." I bet if I called my brother and said only that, he would know exactly what I am talking about.

She is very precious! Such a cute baby

(BTW, Kathy is right, the baby is your first cousin once removed)
