What a Doll!


Even though the kiddos are years away from dating in our family, Rowan has already developed his first crush! He takes the cake for earliest ‘first love’. (Allie had a crush, possibly ongoing, on Quincy from the “Little Einsteins” videos, but she was well over two when it started.)

So who is the lucky recipient of his admiration? 

Why, it’s Allie’s doll baby, who is aptly named ‘Baby’!

 It started innocently one day when Nana was visiting and holding Rowan. Nate was looking for something to keep Rowan’s attention, and grabbed Allie’s doll because it was sitting nearby. He wagged it in front of Rowan’s face, and made her ‘talk’ with a high-pitched baby voice. (This doll is mostly plastic and not even very real looking, so we expected Rowan to scoff at this silly attempt at pretending she was an actual person.)

When Rowan’s wide eyes first beheld the doll, we could tell there was serious interest there. They have since become close friends. Rowan can scarcely keep from hugging her whenever he sees her! We haven’t had the heart to tell him that she’s pretend... Hopefully by the time he realizes he’ll have moved on to someone or, ahem, something else.



The first time they met... 

Love at first sight!

"So are you doing anything tonight?"

Snuggling with his girl.

"Can we have some privacy here please?"
