Big sister yeah, but "mommy" too






Ayla is a fine big sister but she's an even better "mommy" to her baby doll. What's interesting is she has two of them - one is her soft fluffy baby Clara, which we've mentioned on here before. Baby Clara is her comfort, sleep partner, etc and CANNOT be without at those moments. Then she has Baby Alyssa - named for one of our old "yg'ers" actually. Ayla never played with her much before Zeke and doesn't the most still, but since Zeke has been born anytime Ruth changes a diaper, feeds Zeke or gives him a bath Ayla MUST copy exactly what Ruth is doing with her Baby Alyssa. Example in these pictures - a bath. Ayla will set up a little station to bath Alyssa next to our bath tub - which makes our tiny bathroom even smaller! And afterward, she then sets up an exact miniature of what Ruth is doing with Zeke afterwards - drying, lotion, ear clean, diaper, dressing in the living room all on a changing mat. Beyond cute. But Ruth dare not start without her otherwise it gets a bit wild here. : )

A mosquito bite on her eyelid. It actually was swollen all the way shut for awhile - and she also had a cold...she looked pretty rough for a few days. She gets pretty big welts from bites but she's doing ok!
