Henry & Liam

On Friday Sydney & I went to Stratford to meet Sydney's new second cousin, once removed (herein referred to as "Cousin" for simplicity), Henry, and to see her other Cousin Liam. She of course got to see their moms too (Stephanie & Carrie, respectively). Great Uncle Ralph & Great Aunt Marlene were the hosts of such an affair. Thinking back I hope we did not interfere too much with the Grandparents opportunity to be with their grandchildren since Steph & Carrie were only up for the day. If we did Uncle Ralph & Aunt Marlene, we apologize- but we thank you very much for your hospitality & not making us feel like we were intruding.

Sydney did not nap the whole way there, so she was not fully rested & therefore took forever to warm up to "playing" or "posing" with Liam for pictures. Of course just as we were getting ready to go home, they started "playing".

Liam spent much of the time trying to master the stairs...

Or Liam, played with the ducks...

We did eventually get them "together" for a picture, but it was not by choice.

I don't think Liam was too sure why she has to "squeal" so much & be so noisy.

Throughout it all, Henry did what babies do...sleep, eat, & poop.
