Duke has baby (doll) he plays with. No clothes. Just "baby." He likes to wrap Baby in kitchen towels like blankets and sit in his rocking chair and rock Baby. (Not surprising since he loves to be snuggled and rocked in the rocking chair in his room.)

He was doing just that the other day and I told him he was being a good daddy. Maisie was playing with her baby and looked up at me for approval so I told her she was being a good mommy too.

She said,
"And Mommy, you are a good mother...And Daddy is a good...uh...king."
"You mean father?"
"Yes, father. Daddy is a good father."

The Duke

So I may have taken my all-time favorite picture of Duke today. This may be it! What do you think?

the Duke's new news!

Well...

...after going four months without his two front teeth

...after cutting three molars

...at 20 months old 

Duke has finally cut a front tooth!!!

I can just barely feel one tooth, so it will be a while yet before his gap fills in. I'm torn. I love his empty baby grin, but I also love watching my kiddos grow and change.

And Duke will finally be able to take bites out of food!
