A Visit From Colorado

Last weekend, my Uncle Cliff, Aunt Christy, and their daughter Lilah came to Texas! They were here from Friday to Sunday, and even with resorting to searching our town's website, I could not find anything fun for us to do! So, we spent our time at the house, relaxing in the backyard or watching the girls play with toys in the living room. Marley was really nervous at first and didn't want anyone to come near her. But she eventually got curious about Lilah and decided to be her friend by tickling her! And then they bonded outside on the water mat! We had dinner at the house that night, and then Marley and Lilah got to take their first baths with another little person! I think they both loved having a buddy in the bathtub, and they both did a great job of sharing the toys! I was surprised how well Marley did since she is not used to other kids wanting to share with her. But she got the hang of it and there was no crying over toys the entire weekend!

Saturday morning, we got up and had even more water mat fun. I taught Marley how to say something really close to Lilah, but she would still rather refer to her as Bebe. We brought out some measuring cups to play with in the water, which was a big hit with both of them.

It was so great to see them together and how well the got along. Both of them are easy-going, so it's not like I expected total mayhem. But they were perfect angels! We finally got out of the house Saturday night and went to dinner, which was followed by another buddy bath!

Marley did get a little jealous when I was holding Lilah, but she wasn't aggressive or anything. She just wanted to sit on my other knee and make sure I remembered she was there!

I am so glad they got to come to Texas and we got to meet Lilah! It was so good to spend time with all three of them!
