We finally got to meet our niece Ashley! Chris's brother Peter lives in Hong Kong. It was a huge treat for my inlaws, John and Karen. It was so evident how thrilled they were to have all their kids and grandkids together. Ashley is a very happy and big eyed beauty. She's got hazel eyes so far, just fascinating to have all those colors. There were a few undocuemented hugs and kisses between the cousins. Heartmelting until Bowie pushed her away. Then he'd want to hold and do it all again. His social skills just bloomed this vacation. But it was clearly a struggle for him. He was exhibiting a tad bit of jealousy/anxiety about having a baby around. And he shutdown every once in awhile, either by meltdown or total clinging. But the joy and communication and shared experiences were enormous.
