Mollie loves baby dolls.
She almost always has one around. It's so cute to watch her hug them and hold them, and she's starting to try and take care of them, too. Like giving them one of her old pacis (that Kate cut the tip off of so it could get closer to their faces and be more realisitic).
Mollie also has a new-found love for baby strollers.
This is one of Kate's that we saved, and I pulled it down when I was getting
all my stuff down for the consignment sale.
Mollie has logged some miles with it!
This is how she asks for 'more' or lets us know that she wants some of whatever is being given out. We've been working with her here and there on some signs, but they never really took. She'll break one out every now and then, but she's mostly just trying to use words now.
*Looking just like me when I was this age!
Speaking of words, the new word around our house is 'Skib'.
That's what Kate has taken to calling Mollie. Random, right?
It all traces back to when she first came home as a newborn last year,
Hudson couldn't say 'Mollie' or 'baby', so he called her 'Be-Be' all the time. Kate would mess around with this silly baby-talk voice and say all these different sounds that rhymed with 'Be-Be'...like 'She-Be', 'The-Be', 'T-Be'. She liked 'T-Be' and kept that for a while...and then sometimes it'd be shortened to 'Tibs'...as in 'C'mon Tibs, let's go'. And now, it's become 'Skib'. Sometimes 'Skibs', but usually 'Skib'. And I think this one is going to stick.
We'll see. I thought the same thing about all Hudson's names, back in the 'Mudson, Mudsie, Mr. Mudsie' days, but that abruptly stopped one day too.
