Visit from Cousin Lleyton

As most of you know, I've got a lot of family. Lots of cousins, especially. So far Larkin has just one cousin, and they got to meet for the first time this weekend! We really appreciate Adam and Jessica coming from Nashville for a visit. Lleyton is exactly 8 months older than Larkin, but a whole lot bigger!

Believe it or not, at this point they aren't really interested in each other - although you can't tell from this picture. But I'm sure as they grow up together that will change.

Larkin got to hang out with Uncle Adam

And Phillip got to nap with Lleyton.

The size difference cracks me up... and kinda freaks me out. Larkin I'm really excited for you to play and interact like Lleyton does, but I don't want it to come too soon!

I love the way you curl up into a little ball to sleep against my shoulder.

And the fact that you still fit in your Papa Bear's hands to take in everything around you.
And the way you're still swallowed up by your swing.

Don't grow up too fast because I'll miss these things when I have to say goodbye to them. But if you wanted to start sleeping a little longer at night like a big boy, I wouldn't mind as much.
