Brothers!

Here they are!  The Brothers!  It is so much fun taking pictures of these two when they are both cooperating.  ie. Samuel isn't crying and Michael isn't saying "NO!".  The transition into brotherhood has come with more turbulence than was expected.  We knew Little Michael would have some challenges sharing attention, but we have found that this challenge runs deep!  Don't get me wrong, Michael is a great big brother!  And in all fairness, he is turning 3 soon which we have heard is the "New 2".  And we probably have said "Shhh!" and "Be Quiet!" and "Don't do that!" more in the last 6 weeks than in his entire "single child" life.  Basically we are all adjusting!  But overall Michael loves baby Samuel and tries hard to interact with him..... and contain his sometimes overpowering urge to squeeze his face....hard. 

For the record, Michael 2 years 10 months, Samuel 1 month.
