Cousins

They don't get to see each other very often, but D'arcy is always asking about her cousin "Grabriel". It's so fun to see them interact. They are only three weeks apart, but they are developing at their very own speed. D'arcy walked several months earlier. Gabe could count to twenty at a year and a half. At that point, D'arcy was much more interested in chit chatting then counting. Gabe's attention span is really remarkable. He can repeat several lines from a movie. D'arcy might be watching the same movie, but she is distracted by trying to find somebody to cuddle with (or wallow on depending on that someones mood).
Regardless of their differences, they really enjoy each others company, and even when mommy can't get D'arcy to smile, "Grabriel" can.
