babies

little miss has always carried around a baby doll or puppy, since the time she was little. she calls them her baby or her baby animal (insert puppy, elephant..etc) and then plays with them. she has even recently started to put diapers and clothes on them....yep, even the puppy and elephant. but she has now taken that fun to a whole new level.

we had a friend, who up until 3 weeks ago, was pregnant. little miss was at the beach with her 2 days before the baby was born and started asking all sorts of questions. they were pretty funny. it ranged from "when can i meet your baby?" to "mommy, do you have a baby in your belly?" (josh didnt appreciate the last one...haha) she kept asking "when can i play with your baby?" and it was just so cute. she kept touching my friends belly and talking to teress about her baby. so when baby dylan was born 2 days later, we told little miss we could go and meet him, and she was beyond excited! and this is when the real fun kicked in....

so me, josh and little miss were in the elevator heading down from our hotel room when an old man with a nice round gut, gets in with us. before we can stop her, she walks over-hand out, and touches his belly.....and then asks "wheres your baby?" not fully understanding the question (thank god!) he tells little miss his kids are older and big now. she didnt quite understand either.....she thought he was pregnant...and he did have a nice round belly.....so now josh and i are trying our hardest not to bust out laughing and playing it off that shes just 3....luckily the man didnt understand that she thought he was pregnant.

so later that same week, when we were on the whale watching cruise with barbara sara gets this wonderful idea.....puppy wants to hide, so where does she put her....up her shirt.. yep! right up the shirt. she didnt really have whole lot to say at the time about it, but just that puppy was her baby.


so the next week little miss and i are at the grocery store getting a few things and while we are waiting in line, it happens again. but this one defiantly takes the cake....so far. so its busy, and we just have a few things so we are waiting in the 15 or less line with about 7 other people...we are right in the middle. when little miss decides "puppy wants to be a baby." so again, puppy goes right up the shirt. i just started laughing. she starts walking around me and to some of the little stuff right in front of us talking about how puppy will come out soon to meet us, and she cant wait to meet puppy. so puppy stayed in her shirt for a good 10 minutes while little miss is looking at the soda's and the candy and anything else she deems worthy. and finally as i am getting ready to pay, she pulls puppy out of her shirt and shows the cashier "look at my puppy, shes my baby, i just had her!" the cashier had no idea what to do, but the look on her faces was awesome.


she did finally get to meet dylan the other day. and she didnt realize teress was who she was until we told her, but she was glad to get to meet him. its amazing the immignation she has and how smart she is, which i guess is just one of the many reasons she always manages to make me laugh.
