Avery got a very special gift when Landon came home from the hospital: her very own baby doll. She really had to work at first to be gentle, she just loved him so much she wanted to squeeze him. Jon compared her to Lenny from "Of Mice and Men". "I will name him (Landon), and I will hug him, and pet him, and squeeze him". She would literally shake, trying to keep herself from squeezing him too hard, so excited to have her very own baby. These pictures are of how she introduced him to all her friends. She loves to cover him with her blankets. We have had lots of lessons about the fragility of babies, soft spots, not covering baby's head, etc. It is a work in progress but she is a quick learner and loves her baby brother so much.
