Baby



At a rather young age, Viv has an unusually strong attachment to her baby doll. This thing goes EVERYWHERE with us including on errands. We always get lots of laughs and comments from fellow shoppers because I'm usually carrying Viv in the Baby Bjorn and she's carrying her baby. When Rob and I are referring to Baby, we have to call her "Viv's little pink friend" because if Viv hears the word baby, she will frantically go searching for her crying "Babeh" (Baby) and if she doesn't find her, things get ugly. She especially likes to give baby LOTS of kisses, a luxury which Mommy and Daddy don't even get very often (though it seems all of her favorite inanimate objects get more kisses than Mommy and Daddy including her favorite books, her lambie (LuLu), her Teddy, her little mirror (ha, ha), her ball, and sometimes even Rob's leg hair--gross).

Here's Viv giving Baby her daily allotment of kisses

Natalee, She is so adorable! I bet it is so fun to watch her with her baby! I can't believe she is that old to be standing in pictures! Motherhood is amazing, isn't it!?!

That is so sweet! I loved my little girls. Live it while you can, it goes so fast.

She is one lucky little girl! Look at all those toys! She is going to be such a good mommy...look at her already! Wish I was there so we could have palydates with all of Vivi's toys!

I love those pics! Her baby doll looks just like her "mommy"! Ashley still can't leave home without hers. It won't go anyway any time soon I'm afraid!

Viv's little baby makes her so happy during the day, I'm considering buying one and taking it to work with me.
