My mom just posted about a day with Keaton and his cousin, Jonah. I couldn’t help but see some similarities between these two and the oldest set of cousins, Carter and Isabelle. There’s a reason the Roberts babies are chubby little cherubs.

************************** Some back story: Lately, Carter has been asking to learn more “adult” words. It’s not as bad as it sounds. He just wants to increase his vocabulary.
