Lily and "Aunt" Ju-Ju

I really think Lily is Julie's little girl, only born to me. Lily LOVES Julie. More than she even loves me. One night she wouldn't let me put her pj's on, she wanted Julie to do it. Last week she woke up from a nap so stinking ornery! She wouldn't stop whining and crying. So I said, "Should we call Aunt Ju-Ju?" And Lily immediately stopped crying. After a few minutes she started up again and each time I would talk about Julie and even just say her name and Lily would stop. Finally I got Julie on the phone. As soon and Lily heard Julie's voice she stopped crying. Then as I was talking (Lily couldn't hear Julie) so she started crying until she heard Julie laugh at something I said, and then she stopped crying again!

When Julie comes over for "Quilting Group" Lily thinks she has to be on Julie's lap or being held by Julie the ENTIRE time! Otherwise she will crawl over to Julie, reach out to her and whine like a little puppy. It's incredible! (This is the only way Julie can get anything done at quilting group if Lily is awake)!

On Saturday I was sitting on a blanket on the ground near Lily. Julie was on a chair. Julie got up to get something and Lily started FREAKING out! She wanted Julie and was mad that she had left. But her MOTHER was sitting right next to her! Like I said. Lily really is Julie's little girl, only born to me.

One more thing. Lily started walking yesterday! She's not terrorizing the place yet but she will stand up on her own and walk to me. Or walk from the couch to the ottoman which is about 3 feet away. Yeah Lily! Walking at 14 months! How sad, my baby is growing up!
