McKayla

This is McKayla. She is our sitter's oldest child, and she is one of Adele's favorite people. She seems to be growing on Benjamin too.

Three at a Time, Please

When Elsa was born, she had two baby girls waiting to be her cousins: Victoria, and Vynessa. We called the three of them, “The Brunette, the Blonde, and the Red Head.”

Elsa loves all of her cousins, but because the three of them were born in the same year span, “Nessa”, Elsa, and “Tory” have been and still are, the best of friends.

(I have super cute pictures of these girls as babies, but they were taken back in the day when digital cameras were a rare luxury. They are actually PRINTED pictures...anyone remember those?)

Lucky for Adele, her birth-year was a triplicate cousin year too! Harley and Kix were both kind enough to come along three months behind her. Permanent playmates, built right in! Who could ask for more?

And, yesterday, Benjamin Scott met his new cousin Zaylor Scott (anyone see a name theme here, or do I need to make the bold bolder?) and, as you can see from the picture, Ben is THRILLED.

He is saying, “Zaylor, I am three months older, so I will show you the ropes. This is how you how to get the big people to do stuff for you. Watch closely now, and do as I do.”

But these boys need one more friend to complete the set. Anyone wanna get on that???? Anyone?

(You know who you are!)

And P.S. Elsa likes red –headed cousins so much, she got a new one! (OK they were not born the same year, but Elsa has really taken to Oakley.)

Massaging (Honestly, it's more of a tackle but...)

Cute-ing

So Who do the Babies Look Like Now?

Do you know this baby?

Hint: One is Benjamin and one is Adele. I would add Elsa to the mix but I didn't own anything as high tech as a digital camera when she was a tiny babe.

NICU

Folks keep telling me that Benjamin looks so much like Adele. I was kind of thinking so too but now I am doing a side by side comparison, I don't know. Are they really twins separated by a year? I can't tell anymore.
