Our baby loves her baby. Last Thanksgiving, we meant to bring the baby, but somehow left her forlorn in our little apartment for the few days we were gone. We didn't know how attached she was until she saw her cousin's doll and picked it up, saying, "Baby? nooooo, baby!" It was similar, but not her baby. When we got home late at night, I brought her baby to her while she was taking a bath. Her face lit up and she nearly lept out of the tub, shouting, "Baby!!!" Baby has been at her side nearly all the time since then.
She likes for the baby to do all the things she does and all the things she sees me do with the baby we watch. She rocks her, carries her around in her overalls (not that I do that... think of it as baby wearing ;-)), puts her in the high chair and shares her snacks with her.
She even brought her with us when we went to Boulder yesterday to visit a friend. We weren't able to stay out long, because Anni has a bit of a cough that got nasty when she got worked up, but she loved, loved running up and down the hill while we ooh'd and ahh'd at the mountains (er... rock formations, supposedly these aren't technically mountains? I'm not sure.)
Afterwards we settled in at Miss Sarah's house for a cup of tea and some music listening. We really do have a good life.
Her pigtails are just TOO CUTE!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful rock formations! :-) Ryan and I want to get out to Colorado sometime!
