Last week, my brother and sister-in-law were in town and they brought with them .... a very special someone ... my nephew! It's hard to believe he's almost a year old and this is the first time I laid eyes upon him in PERSON!
With Eli's birthday next Friday and Robert's birthday the week after ... I figured it was a great time for a photo shoot ... and since the cousins would be 1, 2, and 3 ... why not make shirts for the occasion??
My own children had to be bribed to wear the shirts ... nothing like a little sugar to convince them that number shirts are SUPER COOL ...
Robert was the only one who was really interested in smiling and looking at the camera ... Eli was in his typical "taking it all in" Eli world ... and Joshua ... well ...
It's amazing what kind of smiles you can get out of a kid when you promise him an EXTRA BIRTHDAY CUPCAKE ... (or maybe it was 2 extra?)
Oh ... and you'll have to wait until Christmas but we did manage to get a great family shot that day ... thanks to my brother and his fine camera skills!

It's really too bad that Joshua is so shy. I mean, not a ham bone in that kid's body. ;) And Eli's looking more like you every day! So cute.
