Visiting Cousins... Well, kind of...

Tara's Uncle Brian's Niece (Sharon) lives just up the road from us on Bribie Island. Sharon is mum to Jack (he's 4) and Thomas (he's just 6 months old). Jack and Thomas came down to Brisbane awhile back to meet Poppi and Hunter. And they kids got on like you wouldn't believe. It was soooooo cute. So, in early July, we scheduled another playdate / barbeque and headed up to Bribie to see our "cousins".

The whole way up to Bribie Island, Poppi couldn't stop telling us what she was going to do with Thomas. You see, when they first met, Sharon let Poppi feed Thomas his bottle. Well, she was quite excited to do just that. We heard lots of "When will we get there" and "Are we there yet" type of questions. We told Poppi which numbers to look for on the clock (1130 am) and wouldn't you know - she paid attention and when it was 1130 was telling us that we MUST be there - just look at the clock! (My oh my - she's such a bright little mind!)

And when we arrived, Thomas was sleeping! So, it was off to play with Jack and Hunter. Before long, Thomas was awake and Poppi was in baby heaven while the boys had a ball playing on bikes, scooters, slides, cars and each other!

Poppi's First Favourite Baby Thomas

It may look like Hunter is a bit suspicious of Jack, but it's soooo not the case.

And, of course... what we ALL were waiting for - Thomas' feeding time! Thomas is starting on real food these days. Sharon (and mum Narelle) helped Poppi to give Thomas his lunch. We're fairly certain Thomas got most of it in his mouth. He did get a little cranky with Miss Poppi - She wasn't feeding him FAST enough!

The funniest part of the afternoon (for us anyway) was when Hunter snuck into Thomas' bouncy seat for a bit of a rest and a stretch. He only just fit in the seat. Luckily, he was keen to have a cuddle and share Thomas' seat with Thomas himself! :-)
