Brooke’s Baby
Maybe you should sit down before reading this post. Anytime I tell anyone this, they condemn me for being a bad mother.
Up until a few days ago, Brooke never owned a doll. It’s true. She has plenty of stuffed animals, but no doll. I knew I needed to do something about this when, a few months ago, Brooke was in my closet and found the doll that we used as her Siamese twin for her first Halloween. (Don’t remember it? Click here.)
She would hold that pitiful doll and insist on taking it out in public with us. I asked my mom to get her a doll for Christmas to rectify the situation.
My mom pulled through and got Brooke a doll. Dallas’s dad also got in on the action and got the doll a stroller, a car seat, a high chair, and a swing. Brooke was in heaven. She loved the doll and the stroller and all the accessories.
It’s so cute to watch her mother the doll.

Lunch time!
First she gets food.
Then a drink.
And my favorite–a high five.

We got Hailee’s first doll when she was a year old and I was amazed how the mothering skills are just born in them. She sat right down and started feeding her with a bottle. She still loves her babies and can hardly wait for her brother to come. I’m afraid she is going to mother the little guy to death. When I was pregnant with Hailee and we found out she was girl the nurse told me, “Oh you’re so lucky, a girl will be the best help for all the rest.” It looks like Brooke will be a great older sister when the time comes.
