Otto

I had an Uncle named Otto, he married my Dad’s sister my Aunt Marie.  My Uncle Otto was a marvelous man, a lifelong educator, a artist and woodcarver with a wonderful sense of humor.

I have a Great Nephew who will carry on that strong name.

Baby Otto

He has beautiful blue eyes and cheeks you just want to pinch…but I didn’t. Otto is about 13 weeks old now.  His Mother reports that he is teething but is a very easy going baby.

Otto is here with his parents and his brother and sister for a vacation at the lake.  Otto lives in New Jersy so this is the first time I have gotten to see him. Otto’s Grandfather is my baby brother…he has eight grands under the age of five and Otto is the youngest. They are all at the lake this week.

Eight under five ... boy, that's a lively week at the beach! Otto is such an old-fashioned name. There won't be five more of him in his class growing up. So nice you got to meet him.

He is adorable... and looks oh, so squeezable (like Charmin!) How wonderful that the family name will continue. It's a great tribute.

It's great to have a family gathering and become familiar with all the new people.

What a sweet face - such pretty eyes.

Great name, especially since it's a family name, and those cheeks!

OMGosh! That's a lot of little ones! So nice to see family you don't visit with often. Be such fun, but glad to get back home to peace and quiet, I bet--LOL!

Not a name you hear very often

Cute little fellow. I like it when babies are named after someone in the family.

Cute baby! I want to pinch those cheeks too...but gently..I love babies but I think they should have a camp you can send them to when they turn into teenagers! LOL! Mine were 'doozies'! How great to have a place where the kids can come home and stay and see everyone.
