Week of December 30 - A Babies Baby

I think it is pretty much a right of passage that little girls will receive a baby and baby care kit to play with. This year, Emily received the Graco baby play kit as her gift exchange at our family Christmas eve get together. This play kit includes a the baby that talks, saying different phrases depending on if she is in her stroller, or crib, or high chair. And of course the little baby makes suckling sounds when you place the bottle or pacifier into it's mouth. Emily has been having a blast since Christmas day with the baby play kit.

Emily loves to put the baby in her stroller and stroll around the house. And around, and around, and around, and around! In fact, sometimes that stroller is going through the kitchen and around the island like a race car with a giggling silly little girl attached behind it. And sometimes the turn goes astray and I hear baby and stroller bounce off of one of the kitchen cabinets, followed immediately by a very precise and emphatic "oh oh" from Emily. :) Then the race is on again.

Happily, Emily takes a moment every now and then to stop and make sure the baby gets some milk.


I have to say though, that the little toy baby can be kind of obnoxious at times when it starts fussing and talking and crying. LOL. So next week we are sending it over to Emily's grandparents house since she spends 4 days a week with them. Even money bet that they try to send it back the following week :-P

We had to do identical stroller and dolls. Matter of fact each of them named their's Sarah. I think the carpet as permanent groove in it from the wheels and racing. And ours cry as well, amazingly too real for me. Both girls get a big kick out of bottle feeding their babies. Grandma opted for stick head horses. I would have never let them go back to Grandma's if she gave them tamborines. And I let grandma know that much to evil grin!

Ha. Katie got the same playset for Christmas! She loves it. We often hear "Baby's talking" or "Baby's crying" from her, but she doesn't know quite what to do with it. She does enjoy the sound it makes when she gives it the bottle though!
