Ever sit around wondering what it would look like if Kristin Sansosti(formerly Kristin Tickle) and Mike Sansosti (formerly not my brother-in-law) had a baby?
<– That answers that question.
Meet my first nephew, Anthony Michael “Bebo” Sansosti, and his new friend Baby Spiderman. Both of them are adorable.
This morning I got a text message from my (formerly) very pregnant sister Kristin at around 7:45am. I didn’t even check it because I knew what it was. I then got the same message from my mom ten minutes later, and then again from my dad about twenty minutes after that. Somewhere around 8:10 my wife got the same message from my mom, but she actually checked it. Sure enough I was right and Kristin finally popped- unleashing this adorable little thing into the world.
After my uneventful dentist visit (I was told to floss more, he was told to shut up) I called my sister to find out which hospital she was in so I could go visit. Not wanting to go empty handed I hit the toy store to find a toy for my now 6 hour old nephew.
They don’t make very many toys for 6 hour olds.
After scouring a disappointingly sparse selection I found Spiderman & Friends 24-Hour Super Pal Spiderman and wanted to get it more for myself than for the baby, but it was recommended for 18 months and older, and is also about twice the size of Anthony Michael Sansosti. I ended up getting a set of much smaller toys; wooden versions of baby Spiderman, Wolverine, Captain America, and The Incredible Hulk. The idea here is to get him started early with being a huge nerd so that we’ll have something to talk about later in life when I have to babysit him. The other idea is that he is adorable.
Steph even came to visit the little guy, and can be seen here making a silly face. Anthony can’t be seen so well because that kid loves, and I mean LOVES his hospital-issue ducky blanket. He also loves hiding his face, and holding his arms up in the air. This is either an attempt to say he surrenders, or an impersonation of “Cornholio” from Beavis and Butthead, but since he was born today and that show died ten years ago I doubt it’s the latter.
The kid slept for the entirety of my visit with the rare exception of occasionally pooping and trying to get some Kristin-boob-action, but nonetheless he was fun and adorable.
If you’re wondering about the specs on the kid he was born at (I think Kristin said) 7:37 am October 23rd, weighing in at a solid 7lbs 6ounces OR “Not even as much as eight Hungry Man dinners” as Mike Sansosti pointed out to me. His head is surprisingly big (Anthony’s head, not Mike’s) and his doctor pointed out that his package is bigger than average (again, Anthony’s, not Mike’s. And ladies, he’s single.)
He should be out of the hospital on Thursday and then he has a full life of living with Kristin and Mike and being related to me.
It should also be noted that he a) got me out of work today, and b) totally stole my thunder about finishing the DVD. “Oh look at me I was born”
Happy birthday Anthony Michael Sansosti.
Love,
Uncle Glen

Well I already have nieces-in-law Hannah and Emma, but this is the first nephew and the first baby that puts my parents in the “Grandparents” category. It’s pretty exciting. Once he’s home from the hospital I’m sure he’ll be more fun.
I wonder how long it’ll be until I can play Wii Sports with him…
