Boosta Boosta Nicky Nicky....and Dana

Lily in her magenta cloth diaper



Yesterday morning at about 5:00 a.m. we heard Lily waking up in her room. We brought her in with us and decided to change her diaper. In all the commotion we ended up with a Lily and a Buster snuggling with us in our bed. The snuggling didn't last long, as Lily and Buster were soon playing together. We were talking to Lily about Buster when suddenly she blurted out "Boosta, Boosta." We thought it might have been a fluke, but again this morning as our entire family was warm in bed, Lily woke up with a smile and the first thing she said, upon seeing her furry companion, was "Boosta." I don't know if that counts as a first word or not, but she definitely knows Buster. If she hears his name, she stops whatever she's doing and looks for him. They are best friends, for sure. They sit and look out the front door together, share toys, and Buster always tries to snuggle with her when we are holding her on the couch. So it was only a matter of time until she called out her best friend's name.

Just yesterday, Lily enjoyed a visit from her aunt Dana. Lily treated Aunt Dana like she treated Uncle Mike during his visit a couple of weeks ago. After a minute of scrutiny, Lily warmed to her and the two were like long, lost friends. A huge, two-toothed smile set the tone for the rest of their day together, as Dana played with Lily while Mommy and Daddy went to a wedding. Even though Aunt Dana had to make a quick return to the city for a party last night, she and Lily reconnected, and Lily is looking very forward to her next visit from her aunt.

Recently, Lily has had wonderful visits from two different Nicks. One from Grandpa Nick when he and Grandma Judy visited and the other last night from her 6-year-old cousin Nicky. As you can see from the pictures, she had a wonderful time with both of them.
