Baby Dee Dee

Alia is in LOVE with her doll Dee Dee. She's never really been a huge "baby person" (again... like her mama in more ways than one!) but this week Dee Dee is the center of attention!

I was observing her the other day, and had to laugh! Alia was simply trying to "get out of the house" and low and behold - life happened!

Dee Dee looks happy now... but things can change in an instant!

Baby is already making a fuss, so she gets covered up with a blanket and "sshhh sshhh"ed a few times!

And now we have to figure out how to carry ALL our bags, with a crying baby in the background.

Drastic times call for drastic measures!

UGH, another bag... how in the world does ONE baby require so much stuff?

And now baby needs a bottle. Put down all the bags, locate the bottle, and feed Dee Dee.

Baby is fed, and now we're back to gathering all the things we need for the day... here, hold this Dee Dee!


Oh, and I almost forgot this and this.

And lookee there, we have a few extra inches of space... FILL 'ER UP!


Sadly enough, by the time Alia got out of "the house" she was in tears... literally. Her bags kept falling off the stroller and her sister came and snatched up a bit of her cargo... it was just too much.

It was fun to see her randition of "mommy" though a bit saddening at times! Let's face it... some days it's better to just stay put!!
