Cousins

Aunt Cristina, Uncle Paul and cousin Lydia visited us over the Christmas break. This was not Lydia and Gabriel's first meeting, but it was their longest and most productive in terms of relationship building.

Lydia was very maternal with Gabriel, calling him "bebe", which is "baby" in toddlerese. She would help feed Gabe, gave him his pacifier when he was crying, rocked him in his swing, and would generally express concern regarding his wellbeing when they were together.

Here is a great shot of the two cousins spending time together. I hope they look back on this one day and smile.
