I just discovered the sweetest website with handmade toys and clothes for children. And everything is “knitted by hand”! Am I more amazed by the fact that they can charge $48 for a toy or that they are only charging $48 for such intricate knitting? Can’t decide. But I do love these dolls!
Anyway, back to our own hand-knit doll baby: Lena. (See Psalm 139:13) Slowly but surely, she’s getting this sitting up business. Lunchtime today, for example. Things often begin well with Lena sitting up cute as can be:
And then the forward tilt begins. She can prop herself up on her arms for a minute.
She achieves her goal! Toy in mouth. Hands are otherwise occupied.
Ohhh and then we crash. Soft landing on Mommy. Pick ourselves up and try again!
So cute! I love the crash picture.
She is really working at it! I like seeing Mommy, too! Can’t wait to see the real Lena :-))
this blog has turned into everything I was hoping for… keep it up, and tell Lena to stop growing up!!!!!!!!
She is almost there–with sitting! What a big girl she will be when we see her in a week or so. xo
