Dear Lilah,

You are the most hilarious baby I have ever met!

Within a few minutes of meeting you for the first time, you:

winked at me while holding a lotus position,

threw me a rockin' devil horns salute,

and told me to "fuck off" in time-honoured British style.

I can tell that you and I are going to be the very best of friends. I offer you the same welcome to the world and promises that I gave to baby Morgan, with an added bonus of two whole weeks of auntie-to-a-newborn experience. It must be working, because you fell asleep so peacefully when I first held you.

Maybe cut back on the attitude a wee bit though, eh? The monkey hand-puppet was a freebie; all future gifts need to be earned.

Just think about it. Have a good ponder.

All my love,

Auntie Cath
