Cousins!

Nolan was born two weeks after his cousin, Zack. And because Zack is so much older and wiser, he teaches Nolan how to play, hit, and make origami. My SIL and I are trying to force our children to be friends. As follows.

Placing them on a blanket together lead to some interesting things:

hand holding (cute while babies, but better not last),

sucking on each other's hands (yuk, I know were those hands have been!),

and hitting. Nolan didn't seem to mind.



This was actually the first picture taken of them together. It's oddly symbolic too:

Wise old Zack (aka Snack) gazes down from his mighty throne at his scrawny cousin (aka Smalls) and says, "Hello there, little one. Come. Let me teach you the ways."

Little does Zack know that Nolan will one day outgrow him. At least when it comes to muscle.

Nolan is a rock.

What I can't get over is how much Nolan looks like Kirk and how much Zack looks like Carter/Nathan.
Very adorable babies!

It's when you put two babies together like that that you realize really how unique babies are although you may think they all look quite similar. And you talk about Zach as though we don't know him.... do you forget that horrible, mean trick you played on us all with you in the hospital bed holding him? Yes, we know Zach... and will forever hold something against him. Keep feeding that boy so that he'll outgrow that scrawny cousin of his!
