Since Jo came along, June has been particularly attentive to her baby doll that she got for her first birthday from "Mam-ma" Miller. Every day, her "Bae dol" is carried from room to room throughout our little home. In the playroom, she's often placed in the exer-saucer and given a few rice puffs. In the family room, June settles in on the couch, lifts her shirt and presses baby doll's face against her belly for some lunch. I often go to put Jo down for a nap and find June standing at Jo's door and peaking in on her baby. When June notices me, she usually puts her finger to her mouth and whisper-shouts, "Bae-dol sleeping! Shhhhhhhh!" After convincing her that Jo needs to use her room for a nap, I go in to find the noise maker cranked to the high heavens, and baby doll laying in Jo's crib.
Almost everyday we go for a walk, Jo in her stroller, and June walking alongside me with baby doll in her little pink toy stroller. When looking for baby doll, June often finds her in a toy bin, rushes to her, cradles her and asks in a concerned voice, "Bae-dol bonk head?" And in the last week, our little Jo has started scoot-crawling everywhere. Yesterday, June came in the room with baby doll in tow, placed her tummy down on the floor, backed up, and with eyes wide and a big smile, started clapping her hands saying, "Bae-dol crawling!!!!" "Good job, Bae-dol!" "Yay Bae-dol!!"
