my baby doll



I often joke with friends that Amanda is my real life baby doll. I get to care for her, feed her, rock her, and - most exciting - dress her. Last week, she really was like a doll to me.

When I was a baby, my Mom made me this cute Strawberry Shortcake dress. I certainly don't remember wearing it, but do remember spending hours dressing my dolls in it. Now, I have the joy of dressing my own baby in it.

As she approaches her 9-month birthday, I realize that I don't have much longer with a real live baby doll in the house. But I do hope and pray that we will have many years ahead to play with Amanda's dolls and dress them these same clothes.
