Cousin fun...and an announcement!

Last Sunday, Nana was gracious enough (and brave enough) to drive up to visit us with Olivia, one of Addie's cousins. They stayed Sunday night, then Nana kept Addie while I had to go for a doctor's visit. Addie really enjoyed playing both with Nana and Olivia-and hopefully they enjoyed it as well!

Addie was definitely happy to have someone (especially her cousin) sit with her to eat at her little picnic table. We thought they should have an eating contest, but Olivia is not competetive enough for that-she willingly lost, and even offered more food to Addie when Addie had cleared her own plate:

Bath time (as you might be able to tell, Addie is in a phase where she will not smile for pictures...or even look at the camera a lot of times):

Addie and Olivia really enjoyed playing on the "Sit and spin" together:

And for the big announcement....exactly 2 days before Addie turned 16 months old, she busted out her first tooth! Nana actually was the one to discover it (it was her bottom right tooth) and confirmed that it really had broken through by putting a metal spoon in her mouth to see if it clanked...and it did! Since then (this was a week ago), Addie broke through another tooth-bottom left. But, she does not let us look and the teeth have not been coming up quickly, so who knows when the world will actually be able to see them. But, I promise they really are there! For a while, it looked like Addie was going to have a brother before she had a tooth, but she snuck it in there right before his arrival.

A proud Nana:
