Like Mother, Like Daughter

Gracie LOVES her babies. So much in fact that I was wondering or trying to remember when it started. It started around 1ish. She got some cute babies for her 1st birthday. She already had my babies

See, cute uhh? She started playing with them and kissing them and it was all so cute.

As she grew, her obsession grew a little more and babies started sleeping with her and then she started diapering them, feeding them, and babies when ANYWHERE she went.

And pretty much EVERY SINGLE PICTURE I take of her she’s either holding a baby or the baby is just to the side of her.

She goes through baby phases and likes one more than others then it switches. For the last few big holidays she asked for a new baby. And the tradition continues. She’s already hoping the Easter Bunny will bring her a new baby complete with diapering table station. I hate to break it to her but the Easter Bunny is going to be flat out of babies this season Smile But all this baby talk made me think where this all came from. How did she get to be like this? And then one day Gracie opened up a drawer and screamed for me to come in. This is some of what she found ….

                     and it all made sense….

Ha! Look at our groovy wallpaper in our kitchen. Can you tell it was the EARLY 80’s Smile

Almost every picture of me I’m either holding a baby, or have a baby in the background. Like mother, like daughter Smile
