Trying to get Robert and his cousin to stand together, and still, and to look at the camera all at the same time proved to be quite the challenge this past week. This was the best we could do to get one of the boys by the tree.
The only way we could get a decent pic of the two of them together was to feed them. Robert discovered a food favorite in clementines. My mom had two crates of them for the entire family to share. Robert probably managed to consume 5 out of the 10 lbs. of fruit -- which is pretty impressive for a 22-pounder!
My little chipmunk would store several slices in his mouth at once so that he could quickly grab another slice (or two) to keep in reserve in order to insure that he wouldn't run out. He was pleased to see that Jack had some too and he decided that Jack would be happy to share.
Fortunately, Jack is sweet and was happy to share. While we were pleased to see Jack's generosity, we feared for his fingers when they got too close to Robert's mouth.
We thought that it'd be fun to give the boys their first bubble bath. Our plan was foiled when both boys decided that they didn't like the bubbles -- we couldn't figure out how bubbles could be scary, but apparently they can be. 
We went up (and down) the stairs a ton! The stairs proved to be more fun than any packaged gift. Next year we'll just stick a bow on the stairs and avoid all of the crowds at the mall. Eventually, we had to set up a barricade so that the parents could get a break.
I had to include this because I thought it was too funny. Robert really wanted to help push the stroller and he did not let his height (or lack thereof) hinder him!
