Baby Dolls

Makenzie and Madison don't play together all that much yet.  Madison watches Makenzie very closely and will do (or try to do) what she sees Sister doing.  That certainly makes things entertaining!  When the girls do play together it is JUST PRECIOUS!!  Moments like these take my breath away and I can't do anything but just sit and watch them and thank God for what he has given me and beg for moments like that to go s.l.o.w.

Last weekend while Matt was out hunting, the girls, in matching deer outfits, were busy "moms" taking their babies for walks.  It was so stinkin' cute!!  Madison loves to play with Makenzie and was so excited that she had a stroller too and was able to do exactly what Makenzie was doing.

I can't help but think what adding 25 years to these pictures would look like!!!!!

Yesterday the baby dolls got brought out again.  The girls played for a few minutes in Makenzie's room and then headed out to the living room.  Makenzie came strolling out... baby doll in arm and diaper in the other asking for help in changing the diaper.  Madison wasn't too far behind but struggling down the hall.  I kept hearing her falling and grunting as she drug her doll behind her.  This doll that Makenzie gave her was ALMOST as BIG as her.  What a challenge to drag the baby to us while holding on to the diaper in her other hand!!

Makenzie sets her baby down for a diaper change, so Madison does too.  Madison OPENS the diaper, puts the diaper UNDER the baby and then tries to pull the tags up.  She would get one and then it would go back down and get stuck again and she just sat there monkeying with it.  Finally she brings the doll to me and the diaper. 

Trying to get baby on the couch.  Not getting much leverage by yanking on her hair!

After the girls changed their baby's diapers Makenzie showed Madison that her baby can suck her thumb!!

It amazes me how much Madison understands and can do!  I hid stuffed animals for the girls to "rescue" as they were playing firemen.  I hid one animal up on top of a door.  Makenzie was looking all over and not finding it... even after my hint of looking UP in every room.   Who finds it and who walked all over the house with her head tipped up at such a horrible angle??  MADISON!!
