Baby Crazy

It took having an electronic baby at our house for a day to learn that my children are baby crazy.  They fought over who got to hold the baby, who got to change its diapers, who would feed the baby...and can you believe that no one took me up on the offer to let them change Camden's diaper?

My girls were the ones officially asked to care for "Sophie" when our neighbor had to be admitted to the hospital and was in the middle of a weekend school assignment caring for the baby. Callie was thrilled, "I am SO taking this class when I am in 9th grade".  Callie went to bed with Sophie sleeping in the car seat carrier by her side.  I heard the baby crying at 5:50am the next morning so I offered to let Callie go back to sleep.  As Callie rolled over to go back to sleep she said "I am SO not taking that class".  A peek at the log showed me that Callie had fed/diapered/burped the doll at 10pm, 11pm, and 3am.  Welcome to real life -- what a great experience!

 My boys even went nuts over this doll.  Here they are doing "this little piggie" to her.

  I just wanted to show off this person's foot.  If I had any photographic pride it is swallowed in the fact that I had to show how yes, even Camden had to have a turn with the baby and treated her as if she were real.

 

That night we also had a REAL and MOST ADORABLE baby come to our house.

 Aubrie is so beautiful; if she was my baby I think I would just wear my camera to have it always on hand.
