waiting for baby

The sweetest development in our life is Fiona’s joyful anticipation of baby.  Her favorite spot is on my lap or near it, staring, rubbing, patting, or kissing “mama’s beh-wee” (many, many times a day). 

She likes to talk about her baby brother, repeating all the words we’ve told her: “baby’s growing” “not come out yet.. in a wittle bit”, “gentle mama’s beh-wee”, “bruh-der, like Dean”, “that’s a baby in there”.

Precious times.

   

Fiona’s baby doll gives her lots of practice at nurturing – strolling, rocking, wearing in a sling.  Being a big sister is going to come naturally!
