Maya hasn't had much experience naming baby dolls. That's because most of her dolls used to be mine, and so when I'd give them to her, I'd say, "here's Jayla." The one doll she named, all pink, is "baby Hugh" after our friend's infant who she dances around when she sees him at church. She alternates favorites of her dolls, but lately Jayla has come out the winner (or loser if you're Jayla and you're permanently naked and one of your eyes is jacked up from too much Maya love). Maya pronounces her name "jelly."
I had a doll just like Jayla named Cindy who couldn't be passed on she was so well loved (lost an arm, chewed off some fingers or toes, etc), so it's interesting to me that Maya is gravitating towards essentially the same doll I loved at her age.
We love this happy face. Over the last few weeks she has become obsessed with the
Frozen soundtrack, singing along to bits and pieces of the songs.
On Sunday, Cas put her in a new dress, and she came running into my room saying "look at me!" Showing off her muscles -
I am such a lucky mom to have a healthy boy and girl!
My loves posing before church. This is what happens when I tell Collin to open his eyes (his initial smile was making him squint) -
Maya might be easy this year for family pictures, now we've got to work on Collin's natural smile!
