Besty is still around...

Baby Betsy is still here and going strong. I don't think that Molly has gone a day without playing with or including her in with the day's activities. It is interesting to think about how she got so attached to her the moment she opened the present Betsy was in two Christmases ago.

Well done, Grammy and Pops! You have gotten every bit of money that you spent on her.

The last month Molly has taken her play to a new level with her. Before Molly would just carry her around, but now Molly is her mommy. She talks to her. She feeds her. She rocks her. She bounces her when she is crying. She does all the typical "mommy" things that are done to a baby throughout the day. This play is interesting to me, because Molly is the youngest and therefore has not witnessed in our house. True, I do take care of my children. However, the whole mommy/baby relationship is something that she must have picked up from others or is innate in her. What do you think?

Ah, sweet Betsy...nothing can replace the love between a girl and her baby doll! The money spent was so small for such great pleasure. What a grin. You got her hair cut shorter...cute!
