Cousins



Adeline & John Michael don't have many cousins... (YET, ::hint hint::) but the cousins they do have they adore! It was fun to be able to see Sadie briefly while she was in town and any time she gets to see Ajai Addy's just beside herself.

Sadie is a peanut. She was born two months earlier than John Michael but while John Michael is off the charts on the big side Sadie is just hanging onto the charts on the small side. It will be fun watching her grow up as a peanut and John Michael as a linebacker. :) Here are some attempts at getting their picture together.





Happy Sadie



It was cute/funny because Sadie is much more "developed" than John Michael. She is starting to sit up and is generally more alert and steady... but because he is bigger than her you'd think HE would be the one more developed! Nope. We also had to protect him from her aggressive mallings.... haha Perhaps that is an exageration but she was tempted to grab his face. We thought Amy was kidding when she said to be careful but John Michael's ttears proved his Auntie Meems right!

Here is Addy with Sadie's daddy, Uncle Trav. She was a little intimidated by him but I think she liked his super deep reading voice.



And here we are at Brad & Julie's house.



Addy went to the zoo with Ajai this past Saturday and had a ball. He is one of the few people she will allow to lead her around.



Doesn't she look adorable?


Ajai is such a cutie! Its so fun to see where we're headed. He's such a smart boy and fun to interact with. Its nice having an older cousin to "pave the way!"




While we were there we saw the dolphin show. John Michael was mesmerized.



And enjoyed sucking his fingers...




while Addy munched on crackers.



Ajai actually got to be a volunteer in the dolphin show! It was really neat. He would turn around and the dolphin would mimic him. How fun!




Addy did a good job even though she missed her nap. She made up for it by taking a ride in the sling.



And then we came home to celebrate Auntie Beth's birthday! Happy Birthday Beth!!

Yes,

They are both too cute! I noticed that John Michael is quite the wiggler at church this past Sunday.

it's funny, but in the pictures, sadie doesn't look all that small compared to jm. but i know it's just the pictures. check out cora at the blog of "wayfaring stranger" (found on my blog). she's a few months older than addy and priya, but wow - can we say prodigy?
