I just wrote a response to Emily, but I think a lot of it applies to you, as well.

In particular, I think both of you are a bit newer to the project than most of the other people who have mentored in the past. In some ways that may be a good thing, as it likely makes it easier to see things from the intern's perspective. :) But it may also introduce some complications if you're working in an area of the code you're not familiar with. Co-mentoring may help with that.
