Cousin Brody came to visit!!!!

Cherie and Brody came up from Orange County...IT WAS SOOOOO FUN!!!! The boys had a BLAST together, and so did Rie Rie and I. :)

This was the first day...them playing on the ground together...Brendan is really good at sitting up by himself, and Brody is really good at crawling around.

Such big blue eyes they have! Aunt Rie was reading to the little men...we finally got them both to look up!

Brendan was much more interested in this new little person his size than he was the book!

Even though Brendan looks like he's pushing Brody in this one, he wasn't. He was gently reaching over and patting him. Brendan was sooooo curious about everything Brody did! Brody was trying to eat Brendan's fingers...

Brendan was so impressed by Brody's crawling skills...he watched him like a hawk. He loved having his cousin come over to play! :)

BATH TIME!!!! :D They had a BLAST splashing and playing with the bubbles!
I love this little one...Brendan is grinning at Brody...and if you look closely you can see Brendan's mystery dimple on his right cheek...don't know where he got that one from, as neither of us have dimples, but we LOVE IT! It's so cute. :)

This video is fun...they're playing in the tub with the bubbles together! Brendan was so funny at first...sometimes when Brody would splash Brendan would grin and splash bigger, as if to say "See! I can do that too! You're playing with me!" and then Brody would ignore him...LOL. Naw, he'd just be enthralled by mommy and the bubbles before he'd pay attention to Brendan again. :) Brendan definitely was trying to get his attention. It was adorable.

Brendan was trying to play and reach Brody, but he wasn't too sure about that. :) Brody just wanted to stand up. They were slippery little buggers!

Brody and Brendan were suddenly so intrigued by eachother...so cute! :)

This video is PRICELESS to Rie and I. The little guys are laying next to eachother on the ground...just watch how they interact. SO FUNNY! Brendan's personality goes out the door as he is ultra observant...can't take his eyes off of Brody...is fascinated by him, intensely watching his every move. Brody is super curious, has to try everything and go everywhere, and wants to discover everything! The best part is at the end...Brody takes off crawling and Brendan sees him do this. Brendan immediately wants to join him, but can't crawl yet. So he tries to do the one thing he can...sit up. And can't. Poor little immobile guy! It's hilarious. He wants to move too! Brendan watches Brody crawl off into the distance and he tries his DARNDEST to sit up, cracking Rie and I up! I love this video!!!

We had a BLAST having them here with us for the very short two days. :D We're going to miss having them so close, but we'll get a chance to visit them in Colorado soon. WE LOVE BRODY!! :D
