We went to celebrate our friend Annika's first birthday on Sunday night. If you recall, last time they were over Addie got to hold Annika and Ben didn't. Well he was determined to play with her. They had a lot of fun together. Ben wasn't thrilled with the concept that an almost-totally walking toddler isn't interested in sitting still and being held. He soon realized that if he would lay on the ground, that she'd be all over him in no time flat.
This picture actually happened before the one above it. When I said "say cheese" Addie reached around Ann and Terri and pulled them in close. That of course made Terri laugh and turn her head to look at Addie...so we had to take another one.
Such a typical Addie pose. She was excited to wear her new Hello Kitty dress and headband, both from H&M.
Ben very strategically positioned himself next to the bowl of gummy bears...hmmmm.
Annika's mother is from Germany and her father is American. Annika is being raised with both English and German as primary languages. It's really cool to watch/listen to, knowing that soon she'll be talking in both languages. Her mom and some other German friends sang the traditional birthday songs (yes, apparently more than one) after we sang "Happy Birthday." Really cool!
