Our Lil' Lovebug: Baby Dolls and a Girly Girl

I always wanted a little girl, for many reasons, but mainly so I could dress her up, play dolls with her, and just do all the “Mommy, Daughter” things. Well, I got my wish. Gracie loves her babies. She has about 4 of them she plays with, one of them being one she has had since she was about 6 months old. I have already told you about her putting them to nighty night, but now we are all about everything that goes a long with babies. She loves to:

Carry them around or push them in their stroller.
Put them in a blanket to rock them to sleep.
Play with their hair.
Take them wherever we go, even if it means they get dirty.
Talks to them like a little mommy telling them “no” or “eat.”
Informs me when they have pooped and they need a “piaper” change.
Invites them to watch Dora on the PB (TV)
Basically anything she does!

This picture was my favorite of the day! We came home and went outside until the sun went down and it got cold. She came in and just wanted some one on one time with her baby. I heard her talking to her baby and grabbed the camera. Well, as soon as Gracie saw the camera, she said “Mama, baby, me, picture.” She posed and demanded I take this picture and I love it.

Tonight, Matt and I were on the couch taking it easy. Matt looked into the playroom and saw Gracie with her play high heels, a phone to her ear, and a drink in her hand. he then asked me who I thought she was mimicking…yeah that would be me! She is a pro already at walking in heels, she can even climb up the stairs with them on.

I also did some re-arranging in her bedroom. She is honestly getting to big for her changing table, so I officially took it down. With all that empty space, I decided to display her doll her Nica got her for Christmas last year. It is so pretty. I thought it looked great. I am in the process of redoing her room, well as much as I can since I can’t paint (we are renters and quite honestly I don’t want to paint it back!).
