baby dolls

Our little darling is not so little anymore. She had her 2 month doctor appointment, got 3 shots, one of which is a triple wammy of diseases and a vaccination by mouth. It was pretty hilarious when she glared at the nurse, after her first taste of the stuff. She is cooing and laughed at me this morning during our little chat. She likes to "talk" and smile. She smiles at her siblings too, which they think is pretty cool. She is now 12.15lbs and 23 1/2" long.

Ivan continues to come up with cutsie and not so cutsie terms of endearment for his littlest sister. Tonight he asked how his "little cheesly dumpling" was doing.

Some children name their dolls sweet girl names like Suzie and Mary. Not my Dominique. She has many dolls, but their names are more descriptive. There is "buck naked baby"- the doll who is always naked because Dominique won't let her wear clothes. Then there's "pink baby". This doll's pink clothes are sewed to the doll and can not be removed- so she's "pink baby". Another one is "white baby". Her clothes have also been removed, but her body is made of stuffed white cloth, thus the name "white baby". I guess since Dominique is not allowed to be naked all day, she has started her own little nudist colony of babies who are free to be clotheless without a mean parent impeding on their innocent freedom. Tonight she did want me to put a diaper on buck naked baby though- because she didn't want her to "poop in the bed" (that's what she told me). She's a smart kid, our Dominique.

Hope you enjoyed our tire swing photo shoot. I love the way Dominique's eyes are accentuated with the blue. Emora's eyes are still blue, but they are a darker color than Dominique's so we'll see if she keeps them or not.

I just LOVE the pink dress & booties on Emora in the first picture & in that one you can see her eye color.
I was trying to figure out what the circle they were in was, so was glad you told us.
I did notice that Ivan had on a Mets shirt. You know we are big fans up here. THANKS!

Wow, Emora and Gianna are the same size, but Gianna's 5 months! And Dominique's baby names are like Linaya's. We have purple baby, little baby, mickey mouse baby, etc... no Suzie or Mary for us either!

I notice the the tire was made in Canada. What a good idea to use the tire for a frame.
