On Sunday, 2 March, my cousin Brian and his wife Michelle welcomed their first baby into the world. Brian is attending the army school where Brad teaches, so they live here in town very near us. I've had so much fun with Michelle in the final months of her pregnancy and so it was very special when I got to meet Adam Brian on Monday. He's positively adorable and weighs about 8 pounds - he was so tiny! It was hard to imagine Lawson was even smaller than that once! He looked so huge comparatively.


Baby Adam slept for most of the visit, but we did manage to snap a picture of the cousins in a brief moment of awakeness. Are they second cousins? Brian and I aren't sure.... Lawson was so funny - he was completely fascinated by Adam. He reached out and grabbed hold of his hand and wouldn't let go! Brian and Michelle are here for another 3 months, so the boys will see each other a few more times.
