Maternal Instinct

This past Christmas, Jillian received a baby doll from her cousin Rielee (see photo). It came with a little bottle and a backpack. Ever since she got it, Jillian has been practicing her mothering skills. She really likes to carry the baby around, sometimes by the head or foot. We've shown her how to feed the baby with the bottle, and Jillian will try to do the same thing, usually by smacking the bottle against the side of baby's head.
