Today marked the first time that cousins Claire and Cash got to meet! Cash is considerably bigger than Claire since he’s 9 months old and is already crawling and babbling on (and on, and on!). I mentioned that I couldn’t imagine Claire being that big and Nan responded that she couldn’t imagine Cash being that small!

The first time that we put them next to each other, Nan was holding Cash and I was burping Claire after she had been fed. Cash just stared at Claire with those big blue eyes as if to say, “who is this tiny person next to me?” He then reached out and grabbed her hand, which was the perfect time for a picture, but nobody had a camera close by.

We all had a good day out and about in Raleigh, with Colleen sharing the backseat with two babies We did a good bit of shopping, which required us to get the strollers out of the back of Nan’s car at several stops, and the two little ones did an excellent job with all of the transitioning! We used the “Mother Room” at Babies R’ Us to get them both fed and then were right back at it.

We snapped a few pictures at our last stop to document the first meeting between the cousins for everyone’s enjoyment. Of course, Claire and Cash spent most of the day asleep, but we’re guessing that they had a good time!

In addition, I thought that it would be a cool idea to have a “Stafford Calendar” on our website that showed what was going on in our daily lives. I built the whole thing by myself (and researched how to put some special features on it) as I was unable to find an available calendar that did what I was wanting it to do. It’s over on the right side of our website and you will need to disable your pop-up blocker (just for our website) so that you can see our scheduled events. Just mouse-over the highlighted days for a list of our travel plans, baby doctor’s visits, etc. We’re coming to Arkansas soon so check out the calendar for the dates!
