I wasn't ready for it to happen, but it looks like I have a second child. Meet Stella. She is needier than Raegan, needs her diaper changed about 12 times a day, goes everywhere with us, and has to sit at the table with us when we eat. All of this is Raegan's idea, by the way. We got her this Baby Stella doll for her birthday. Over the past 2 months she has formed an attachment to it. She tells us when Stella needs to be changed by showing us the sign for diaper change. She wants Stella to sit with her while she eats, but I know they would both be covered in yogurt. I quickly dodged the inevitable heartbreak by placing the doll in a chair at the table and telling Raegan the doll was eating too. Later that night Ryan decided to put her in Raegan's booster seat, and that's how we've eaten for the past 2 days - all four of us at the table. Before I know it, I'll be pushing a double stroller with these girls.

That is so, so adorable!! I love that she does that! Sounds like she'd make a good big sister! :)
Thanks, Lacy! Oddly enough, she gets very upset when I hold our friends' 6 week old baby. She shows concern for him when he cries and signs "baby," but doesn't want me holding him. She is fine with older, bigger babies, like 6 months+.
