madison is going to be quite the experienced mom when her time comes. she imitates everything i do, especially when it comes to grace. plus, her doll has to be involved. if i pet the cat, so does madison, and then so does grace and then the doll, both with madison's help. if grace is being burped, either madison is helping me do it, or she's burping her doll. sometimes she wants dan to burp her (yes, madison lays against dan's shoulder and wants him to burp her like she is a baby). a little bit of regressing is normal right?
but really, madison is so good with grace and we are very grateful! she keeps us on our toes and makes us laugh every day. what a blessing she is in our family! below are some pictures to help catalog what a great helper she is.
porter and grace needed their diapers changed ... apparently so did the doll
grace and porter were asleep in their car seats... so madison got in the cradle, ready for bed with the blanket and everything
grace was sitting in the bouncer below, and by using her fingers and some grunts, madison told me to move grace. madison preceded to slowly back up until she was even with the bouncer, sat down, pulled up her shirt, and nursed her baby contently. out of her belly button! next, she burped her and fed her again, from the other side of her belly button. (between kamber and i, there was almost always someone nursing on the couch, no wonder she picked this up!)
again, imitating kamber and i, madison carried her baby around in the baby bjorn
the girls were laying on the bed and madison nicely covered grace with her blankie, till her foot popped out. madison pushed her foot back under the blanket over and over to no avail. notice madison's hair?
the doll wanted to swing with grace - how nice of madison to be so thoughtful!
the next four are of madison and grace snuggling together, except for the one that they are both wearing tights in. madison wanted to give grace a kiss and grace wasn't cooperating as well as madison would have liked.
i love this look and gesture. why? "i don't know?" :)

Aaw, what a cute big sis Madison is! I love the nursing out of her belly button, hilarious!!
Your girls are beautiful! Madison is such a good big sister! I hope my girls will be as helpful as she is. Arianne's little guy will sit on the couch and nurse his sister's doll while Arianne and I nurse our babies and talk. Funny how they pick up on those things!
We think about you and your family everyday. We admire your strength. If you ever need someone to talk to...I'm usually rocking a baby or nursing a baby, or both! Feel free to call (435)590-0845. Please, let Kamber know also. I don't have a way of getting a hold of her. Dallin is one of my closest friends (I have a hard time with past tenses). I'd love to hear from you!
So cute! Liah nurses her babies all the time, and lucky for her she can do whatever she wants while her doll's head is stuffed up her shirt - like play puzzles or color or vacuum. If only I could figure out how to do all those things while nursing!
Be grateful Madison nurses from her belly button. Liah is constantly saying things like:
"Anna just likes to eat your boob" or "I need a nursing pad for MY boob".
Very cute and u r right that Practice makes perfect.
BPO work from home
Marie,
It was so much fun seeing you guys in Mexico and at our house to visit. Your girls are so adorable, and thanks for those oranges you left. They were delicious! Just remember, two gets easier with time!
