Eli met his second cousin today. Her name is Copeland and she lives in Sacramento, California. Dendi's twin sister Lora, her two daughters Amber and Ashley, and her granddaughter Copeland will be in town through the weekend. I've been preparing Eli for their arrival for a while now, I've been showing him pictures, talking about his cousin and talking about how he'll be sharing his toys (he shakes his head no, I shake my head yes.) I wasn't sure how he'd do with another baby in his turf, playing with his toys and getting some of his attention. He passed my big brother test with flying colors.
Copeland is adorable. She is constantly shreiking with delight at everything around her: her grandma, her auntie, her mom, the dogs, the cats, tomatoes etc. She is full of boundless energy and she doesn't seem to suffer from stranger danger at all.
She was especially enamored with the cat...
and picking and eating tomatoes off Dendi's plant.
The cousins generally did a great job of playing together (or near each other) and sharing.
This football caused the only slight problem of the evening -- one ball, two toddlers, not great odds.
Luckily, Dendi came to the rescue with another yellow ball.
