baby Emmie

as an early Birthday present for Daisy (she'll be two in 3 weeks) we gave her a Bitty Baby... she was so excited to have her own baby... we named her Emmie (more on that soon)... we swap Cora and Emmie from swing to car seat to vibrating chair... Daisy is learning to be a Mommy and I think it is working to make her more gentle with Cora... I knew this would be hard for her but she really is doing much better in the last couple days than I had expected (maybe because her GI tract finally seems to be back to normal)...


we named her Emmie because this is what Daisy calls her Aunt Em and she has been asking about Em a lot recently... usually the conversation goes something like this...

Daisy: ""Emmie?"
Mama: "She is at work." or "She is having dinner with Uncle Sean." or "She is watching a movie." or "She is knitting."
Daisy replies: "OH!" with satisfaction

She does this all day long and ask about everyone: Bobby is another favorite recently, Papa, Keith, Grandma, Auntie B, Dolce the Gentlemen's dog or Bella

it is tiring but also fun to make up stories about everyone in our lives.... so even if we don't see you often just know we are talking about you all day long!

It nice to know she talks about. I didn't know she and I had made a connection. I can't wait to see everybody! As long as the sickness is gone we'll be there this coming weekend.

That is funny - Maddie's Bitty Baby is also named Emmie (although, more formally "Emma" after her sister!). Apparently we all have excellent taste in names. :-)
