Eli and His Cousins

Corwin has been staying with Grandma and Grandpa and Eli is so excited. The first time he saw him, he crawled up to him and grabbed his eye. Corwin's expression was "Why would someone do that to me?" After I apologized, John sarcastically told me it was a matter of bad parenting. The second time Eli saw him, he went right up to him and gave him a kiss on the forehead and cheek. Corwin did not appreciate that either, and he cried.
After a few days, Corwin warmed up. Eli was still very affectionate and tried to kiss him and invade his personal space. Corwin put his hand in his face and shoved him away.
Eli is crawling and Corwin is fascinated with his moving. He watches him very intently and toward the end of his trip, he has started to learn how.
It is amazing at how different the babies are. Their coloring, temperaments and weights are so opposite. Sherstin and I decided that if you take a regular baby and squish him down, you have Eli. If you stretch him out, you have Corwin. When standing, Eli goes up to Corwins ear.
Eli always puts everything in his mouth (including the marbles in the toy Marble Works) and Corwin fingers the object first. Eli doesn't care for baby food and Corwin loves it. I think it's great that they're so different in temperament because they might get along later on.
Eli also gets along with Joe. They are so fascinated with each other and usually go for each other’s eyes. When Eli was 5 months old, we put Eli in front of Joe and he grabbed his hand and put it in his mouth. They also smile at each other and last time they met, Eli kissed Joe’s head.
