Cousins

Ok so Riannon is my cousin and her son is Taiven and my son is Cayden. So since Riannon and I are 1st cousins her son is my 2nd cousin right? So are Cayden and Taiven 3rd Cousins or would Taiven's child be my 3rd cousin? I had heard once that the kids of cousins were 2nd cousins once removed, is that right?

Anyway Cayden and Taiven are some sort of cousins, they just met for the first time and are 5 months apart. Taiven weighs more than Cayden, but once I saw the two of them together I realized Cayden wasn't my baby anymore! He's getting to be more little boyish. I know that will just keep increasing until he really is my little boy, but for now I will try and think of him as my baby still.

The way I was taught, Taiven is your first cousin once removed. Cayden and Taiven are 2nd cousins.

You are right. He is certainly getting ALOT more little boyish. It seems I've missed half of his babyhood:(

I agree with Kristin-- the boys are second cousins.

It's nice to feel like I know how I'm related to people now:) I am very close with many of my cousins and their kids and we just figure we're all cousins, but now I know the real terms:) thanks guys:)
