Introducing Baby and Dada

Katherine has begun to attach herself to her dolls. It is really cute how she feeds them, tucks them in for their nap, strolls them around on "choo choo" (for a lack of a stroller) and nurses them. My favorite is when I see her leaning over to kiss one of her dolls. Her dolls do not have "real" names yet. The bald one is "baby" and the one wearing a sweatsuit is "dada" which is how she says "doll"



Most of the time she wants to carry both of them as well as their three blankets. Really they are Katherine's blankets but she insists that her baby and dada are wrapped in them. Sometimes it causes problems as she cannot physically hold all of this and walk around the house.

When getting ready to go out and meet Daddy for dinner, Katherine insisted on bringing both Dada and Baby with her. Since it was one of the few times that I would not need my cargo space under the stroller (where Dada and Baby usually end up after 5 minutes), I decided to let her bring them. It was rather cold outside so I tucked all three girls into the stroller bag.

That last picture is my favorite, especially since I know Baby and Dada personally and kind of got attached to them myself when we were there.
Love,

Katherine is growing up! She looks like such a little girl. We can't wait to see you guys when you get back.

Ava loves her dolls and stuffed animals also. She pulls them all out into the family room and lines then up on the floor, then covers them with each with their own dish towel. She refuses to cover the animals with receiving blankets--has to be my entire drawer of clean dish towels. Then she sits beside each one and pats their back and puts them to sleep. She is such a good momma!!

Those pictures are sooo cute! And I'm so jealous that Katherine's hair is getting so long!It's going to be so much fun having the girls together for Thanksgiving!

Snug as a bug---love that pic! It looks very cozy and Katherine is such a cutie! Sorry, friend, but you definitely do not have a baby anymore; you have a little girl! In fact, it feels like you left the States with a somewhat baby, and are returning with a definite little girl. Amazing! Can't wait to see you all!! :o) :o)
