The last time Mark’s sister, Krista, brought Maddox over for a visit, we were all a little disappointed that they showed no interest in each other at all. We really thought they’d find the other baby really interesting. Well, I guess maybe they both just needed to get a little older, because when Krista came over today, what a difference! Mark’s parents were here too, so we decided to try to take some pre-Halloween photos of the both of the babies, and we were so pleased at how much they interacted! Here are some new photos of Sam and her cousin, Maddox.
Ok, so maybe they don’t exactly seem interested in each other here, but at least they are together!
We like to think of it not so much as slumping over, but hugging : )
Eventually, though, they got the gist that this should be considered a playdate of sorts and they need to get to know each other. First they started out by just looking at each other, then they were actually trying to hold hands.
Maddox was polite, and offered Sam his thumb. He told her it is a rather good thumb, that he uses it often.
You can imagine how hard we all laughed when Sam said, hey thanks! and decided to suck on his thumb instead of her own! OMG, it was so cute we could have died! Maddox didn’t seem to mind at all. He is a good cousin.
We still talk with Krista all the time about how lucky we all are to have such adorable little babies. For a long time we never thought we’d see the day when our kids were in the same room, because we all had doubts about when and if they’d ever exist, but look at us now! Not only do we both have kids, but we are so, so lucky that they are close in age and they can grow up together. I guess miracles really do happen…..
