From the ridiculous parents who brought you the likes of Lucy Bumblegarden…
We proudly introduce the newest member of the family.
Meet Annabelle Persephone Kittykins.
Okay, so the little jailbird isn’t actually a “new” member of the family. Annabelle actually joined our family last Christmas. Michael bought her (and the pink bear you see Lily photographed on every month) for Lily for Christmas 2008. I hadn’t even thought to wrap up any presents for Lily since she wasn’t “here” yet, but Michael did. How sweet is that?
On September 15th (6 months old), we decided to let Lily try napping with a lovey, to see if she’d take to it. Well, let’s just say that she and Annabelle became fast friends. Lily loves to fling her back and forth in the crib, and then cuddle her up to her cheek while sucking her thumb (Lily’s thumb, that is…Annabelle doesn’t have thumbs, of course, with her being a cat and all). It’s so sweet, and by 7 months, Lily will now instantly cuddle up against your shoulder and suck her thumb whenever you hand her Annabelle. If she wakes up during the night, we can also watch her on the monitor searching for Annabelle. When she finds her, she’ll cuddle back up with her and fall back asleep.
So incredibly sweet. Clearly they are best friends already.
Their incredibly tight bond was only slightly questioned the day that Annabelle had a bath in the washing machine.
And Lily was forced to nap with…ummm…Unnamed Bunnykins instead.
And Lily didn’t bat an eyelash.
I mean, other than that, I’d say that Lily and Annabelle are best friends.
Friends for life.
Or until Bunnykins edges her out.
Either way.
