This time, it was Erik and Cherris's big day. We were honored to host their special event. There was a food spread fit for a king ... or queen (!) with three kinds of quiches, phyllo wrapped cheese puffs, strawberry rhubarb phyllo tarts, orange muffins and crazy asparagus cheddar wraps. Basically, it was carb-tastic!
The overwhelming vote was for GIRL! I think Erik was the only one voting that he thought Cheriss was carrying a Baby Boy Faiola. The cutting of the cake seemed to take sooooo long. We had Grandpa Bosseant on the phone, anxiously awaiting the news with us. Thank you FaceTime!
Annnnnd, it's a girl!!!! Looks like everyone is pretty happy about that fact. We can wait to meet Baby Girl Faiola in August.
Brother Justin came up for the party and Jamisen loved to spend time with him too.
Baby Lily wore a dress for the occasion. Thank you Grandma Kelly for buying the dress over 4 years ago when I was newly pregnant with Jamisen, thinking I was having a girl. She saw me admiring the dress, snuck back to the store and purchased it ... only to have to hold on to it for almost several years until we really did have that girl.
With the whole family up, there were lots of walks in the neighborhood - including in Jamisen's rad car stroller. Jamisen and Uncle Erik are developing such a sweet relationship based on fun and physical activity. It's a ridiculously sappy joy to behold.
Lily is starting to hold her own with Jamisen. She has gotten quite good at dodging his playful pokes and crawls away quickly if he gets too rough. She also isn't shy about squealing loudly to let anyone above 4 feet tall in the vicinity know that she is under attack. Jamisen isn't quite potty trained but we're getting there. We are trying a lot of bribing and cajoling but so far, it hasn't worked. We have told him that once he turns 3, they don't make diapers for 3 year olds. Score one for lying ...

We did the same thing! I told Stasia the diapers didn't fit her anymore. =)
