Cousins

I loved seeing the 5 little cousins all play together.  The last time we were all together, Elaina and Erin were my parents' only grandkids.  They certainly loved getting all the attention back then, but now it is even more fun when there are 3 (almost 4!) more little boys to share the attention.  The girls have become the nurturers/ring leaders/babysitters and they love taking care of their younger brother & cousins.  The boys think Elaina & Erin are hilarious and love to try to keep up with them and imitate what they do.  Watching the dynamics of all 5 kids together is so much fun.

Getting into mischief: Erin, Gavin & Elaina

These three were playing some fun game.  I'm not sure what it was but they kept putting their heads down and laughing.  I think the girls were laughing at Gavin copying them, and Gavin was just laughing because they were laughing, and because they are so much fun to imitate.  It was hilarious to watch!

Trying to share...well, not so much

One day the boys were "playing" in the living room together.  It consisted of Gavin and Isaiah chasing each other around the living room and Isaac sitting in the middle, watching them run circles around him.  They were so cute playing together

The three boys.  Already best buds

Trying to get a boys picture with the boys: Gavin (19 months), Isaac (8 months), Isaiah (12 months), Gavin wasn't too excited about it. 

I think Isaac thinks that if he gave Gavin a toy it would make him feel better!
