Alison & Courtland

by Ashley Weeks Cart

Courtland’s seventh month birthday letter is on hold as we have the following happening in our abode this weekend…

I know. It makes you nauseous it’s so adorable, right? That chubby cheeked baby with the perfectly spherical head and Gerber looks is the daughter of my childhood bestie, Lydia. Alison was born just 6 weeks after Courtland. It’s amazing how two blonde, blue-eyed Caucasian babies born so closely together could be so dramatically different. Alison is the most easy going baby on the Planet Earth, whereas Kaki wails in distress anytime anyone tries to hold her besides mom or dad.

Le Sigh.

Also, I am going to eat Alison’s delectably plump little thighs for breakfast tomorrow, if Kaki doesn’t get to them first. (I swear Courtland could devour Alison whole if she tried. She seems like a monster next to that little monkey). I realize I shall never know the joys of having a chubby baby. And this makes me quite envious of Lyd. I just… the chub! I love it so.

This weekend warms my heart as it marks the continuation of a long line of Guild/Ulmer female friendships. Lydia’s little sister and Kimmy, in fact, are currently on vacation together in SF and then Florida. The love runs deep!

Also? Apparently Kaki stuck her finger in a light socket last night because, WOW!
