Molly the Dolly

Santa gave Norah a dolly for her very first Christmas and until very recently this doll was generally neglected. Molly wasn’t even first pick to ride in the doll stroller. I don’t know what has changed but Norah’s maternal instincts have kicked in and she is taking good care of her doll now and giving Molly lots of pats and kisses. She also likes to pat real babies that she meets at church. There is one “baby” that is about a year and a half old and bigger than Norah but he is bald so Norah insists that he is a baby. It is pretty funny to watch this little boy evade Norah while she tries to mother him.

IMG_7026She is such a good momma to read to her babyIMG_7030This is Norah pouting when I stopped taking her picture.  She said “again, again.” IMG_7028I suggested she rock her baby for the rest of the photo shoot and she agreed. Norah found that rocking while holding a baby was very difficult and reading to the baby while rocking was impossible. I hope she will have a new appreciation for me now.IMG_7036Question for any relatives on my side: Does anyone else think this picture looks just like Natalie circa 1990?

I vote 'yes' on the Natalie question

Her hair cut, eyes, and smile look like Natalie and that photo reminds me of Natalie's dimples.

This is so cute! Lincoln's been "fathering" Charles lately too, it's funny how stuff like that just starts all of a sudden!

She has good form while she's reading to her doll. I must say, she looks like a natural
