Cousins

Emily and Jacob are cousins and already best buds.:)  In the picture below Emily's 17 months and Jacob is 1 month. We decided to take a picture of them together, but Jacob was not overly happy being set down on the chair to have his picture taken and Emily just isn't sure what's going on.  

Jacob is actually still screaming in this picture, but it looks like he's sleeping.  He must have been in between screams.:)  

We got to keep Jacob one night while Brett and Katherine went on a date night.  I decided it was time for another photo op. 

In the photos below Jacob is 8 weeks and Emily's almost 18 months.  He was very interested in watching Emily and trying to figure out what she was doing.  Please just look at how much Jacob has grown from 4 to 8 weeks.  Crazy!  Emily better watch out b/c her cousin Jacob will catch up with her in no time!  

When I was growing up our family took sooooo many "cousins" pictures.  We have a certain order that we all had to be in...oldest to youngest.  I love looking back at all the pictures and seeing how each of us has changed. 

The picture below was taken at my cousin Jackie's wedding...it's all the cousins from youngest to oldest.  I'm not sure why we lined up that way...it really never happens....but we'll just blame it on the fact that it was hot outside and the photographer had lots of pictures to take so people were running in and out of pictures trying to get Jackie inside to the AC as quickly as possible.:) 

Emily and Jacob better brace themselves b/c there are many more "cousins" pictures to come!  I can't wait until little Hannah is in the picture with them!:)
