here is kane about a week ago, he is doing great. he is the opposite of his brother. very quiet and easy going. you don't even know if he is in the house half the time. he sleeps like a log and eats like a champ, he is a tank, if you couldn't tell from the cheeks.... he will be beating up his brother and cousins soon.. max is doing awesome with him. he loves him dearly and is so helpful with him. 
this is a pic of max at his school xmas play. he was an angel, (of all things) he did a fantastic job. he did not budge the entire time, i wasn't sure if it was my kid or not. he sang and smiled and even got the hiccups-he was so nervous.
here are some group shots of all the cousins, this next one is only 1 of about 20, definitely a difficult task trying to get 6 kids to sit and smile at the same time. we might have to cut and paste them all together to get a solid shot or wait about a year.... these guys are all on marks side, jeffrey is holding kane,then evan is trying to keep grace still and gage is sort of with max. they are doing well and getting big. grace and gage just had their 1st birthday- we hear it was a good time, mark was sick so we stayed away, still sad we missed it.
these are the boys on my side with their pop-pop. jacoby is trying to steal kane's bink- a common occurrence. he is quite fascinated w/ kane, not quite sure what he is all about.
here is jacoby again with me. i like to call him chubby. isn't he the cutest????? he is doing great. he is crawling like a maniac and has started pulling himself up on things, he is 7 1/2 months right now. he gets in LOTS of trouble at home in his walker.. hee, hee!!!
that is all for now,. i will try to be better at this in the future. hope everyone had a nice holiday season and we wish you all a happy and healthy new year!!!
