Heidi Anne-The Baby Hungry Toddler??

Heidi Anne amazes everyone at how loving and caring she is with babies. She has taken it upon herself to be the babies teacher at daycare. She will get a box of markers and paper and start "showing" the babies how to "write" their names. (Even though she is spelling H-E-I-Name) she says- "Emery, this is your name." Or "Wynter (Yes-I DID spell it right) this is your name"

She loves to play with the babies too. When they are in a jumper she will go to them, coo with them, and say "Oh baby Sunny, who is the prettiest little baby girl-is it you? Yes it is! Oh, who is so cute? You are!" Just like an adult does. Or she will mother the babies, she will ask them questions or tell them what she is doing in a sing-song voice. "Now I am getting ready to go outside and play, did you want to come too?" The babies LOVE her for it.
We've noticed she tends to get a little overprotective. For example, she will tell the other kids they are pushing the babies to high in a swing (when they aren't) and say "No, the Baby likes it if you do it this way." She will then show them the "correct" way to handle the baby-(even if the baby happens to be their own sibling).

When there are no babies to play with and Ana Rose is at home she has an imaginary baby. She will push the baby in the swing and she will stop the swing if it goes crooked or apoloigize to the "baby" if the swing goes to high. A typical conversation for her and "baby": "Oh Baby! Was that fun? I will be more careful with you, that was a little toooo high for Baby! That was Big Girl high not baby high. Are you ready? Weeee, oh, who is having fun?"

I think it's humorous when she tries to convince the other Momma's to let her take a baby home with her, she pleads "But my Daddy said I could! Pppplllleeeeaaaassssseeee???". Sometimes she will try to sweeten the deal with a "I'll be really good...." Cue Smile....
To her surprise it hasn't worked yet. (^.^)
