Two Peas in a Pod

Holly and Lilo, baby and dog. It's funny how much they have in common!

* They both beg for food: I was babysitting Holly one morning and I hadn't eaten breakfast yet. I poured a bowl of cereal and the second I sat down at the table, Holly and Lilo were practically on top of me begging for food. Holly held her arms up and Lilo gave me her puppy dog eyes. I gave in to Holly of course, but Lilo didn't have as much luck.

* They're favorite toys are stuffed animals: As soon as Holly lays her eyes on a stuffed animal, her entire face lights up. She carries them around with her and squeezes them so tight. As for Lilo, we've stopped shopping in the pet section for her toys. She prefers little stuffed animals that she can tug on and carry around until she slowly pulls out all the stuffing and is left with and empty rag.

* They both like chasing the other around, but don't like being chased: It's pretty hilarious watching Holly and Lilo interact with each other. Holly either goes for the tail or the eyes. Either way, she's delighted when she succeeds in catching up to Lilo. Lilo on the other hand has no problem catching Holly. She likes to sniff and lick Holly's face when she's close, which Holly isn't too fond of.


Although one is a lot hairier, they're two peas in a pod. And don't worry Holly, someday we'll even have a cousin you can play with too.
