Bate Bate Baby & Belly Pic!





It's no secret that Buggy is Dora the Explorer's number one fan, but today she even surprised me with her very "Un-P.C." Dora reference.  Her favorite episode by far is the episode about the Chocolate Tree, where Dora and Boots sing "Bate, Bate Chocolate" (it sounds like bah-teh, bah-teh, choc-o-late!) while they're mixing bowls of chocolate from the Chocolate Tree.  Lately, she's been saying "bate" for brown or the word chocolate.  It's also no secret that she's become a fan of taking care of baby dolls.  Well today at Coffee and Cartwheels, Buggy was attached to a tiny African American baby doll that she called her "Bate Bate Baby!"  She fed her Bate Bate Baby, gave her kisses, rocked her and took her everywhere!

Why she refuses to eat vegetables, but finds it acceptable for her baby dolls to have them is still daunting to me!

Before she saw Bate Bate Baby, she of course made a B line straight to the book section and sat down with a good read. 



Judging from this face it's apparently "not cool" to have your mom always following you around with a camera.



Making sure I'm still aware of her "boo-boo."  Which means she wants me to kiss it.

Jumping on her hopscotch mat she got from her friend Big Caroline for her birthday!

Hugs for her rubber ducky.

Pounding out some sweet beats on her drum.

With just 6 weeks of baby baking left, my belly button and rear end now both have their own zip codes!  I feel huge and even the most simple tasks such as putting on my shoes and picking up toys are almost impossible!  I'm even too uncomfortable to nap!

If only I could give birth to a Bate Bate Baby, and maybe then I could count on having a little 2 year old helper around in 6 weeks!
