Cameron Gets A Visitor (Photostory)


 
It's mid-morning and Kendra is checking on Cameron.  He's just waking up from one of his many catnaps.  Kendra was able to grab a quick shower during his nap.  She will get dressed during his next nap.  

"Well hello sweetness.  Let me guess, you're hungry."  (Kendra)

 As Kendra picks up Cameron, he gives her the biggest smile.
"Are you flirting with your mommy?"  (Kendra)

"Is that my boy I hear?"  (Nathaniel) 

"Hello my future star athlete."  (Nathaniel)

 "Would you like to feed him?"  (Kendra)
"I can't right now.  I have to do a consult with one of my coworkers at the hospital."  (Nathaniel)
"You're not supposed to be working.  You are supposed to be bonding with your son."  (Kendra)
"I know honey, but this just couldn't be helped."  (Nathaniel)

 "I almost forgot.  Nikki just called and I told her she could stop by to see Cameron."  (Nathaniel)

 "That's great.  Oh honey, can you bring me Cameron's bottle from the fridge in the bedroom?"  (Kendra)
"Isn't that his bottle right there?"  (Nathaniel)
"No this one is empty."  (Kendra)
Nate leaves to retrieve the bottle.  He returns and Kendra heats the bottle and places the bib on Cameron.

Cameron is almost finished with his bottle and Kendra can hear on the baby's monitor that Nikki has arrived.  A few minutes later, she enters Cameron's nursery.

"Hello, hello.  I come bearing gifts."  (Nikki)

"Hey girl.  Oh my goodness.  Where on earth did you get that giraffe?"  (Kendra)
"You like?  I remembered you saying there were going to be giraffes in the nursery.  I saw this in the store, and I just couldn't pass it up."  (Nikki)

"Ohhhh, he's so small, and so handsome."  (Nikki)
"He gets his looks from my side of the family."  (Kendra, laughing)
"Can I hold him?"  (Nikki)
"Sure.  He's finished eating."  (Kendra)

"I'm going to leave Mr. Giraffe right here."  (Nikki)
"That's fine."  (Kendra)

"I just can't get over how precious he is."   (Nikki)
"Sit in the chair and I'll hand him to you."  (Kendra)


"There you go, little man.  Say hello auntie Nikki.  Are you going to show her that beautiful smile of yours?"  (Kendra)

"I am in love.  Hello there cutie pie."  (Nikki)

Kendra turns her attention to the giraffe.

"This is just the cutest."  (Kendra)

"Did Nate see this?"  (Kendra)
"Yes.  He just rolled his eyes."  (Nikki)
"Yes, he thinks I'm addicted to giraffes."  (Kendra)

All of a sudden Cameron starts to whine and get fidgety. 
"Oh no.  What's wrong?"  (Nikki)
"He probably just needs to be burped.  I forgot to do that."  (Kendra)

"Here, just put this on your shoulder and burp him a little bit."  (Kendra)

"There you go.  He will probably fall asleep in a few minutes.  Just gently tap his back."  (Kendra)

"I just can't get over how adorable he is."  (Nikki)

"You know your brother would never believe that I was sitting her holding a baby."  (Nikki)
"Maybe I should take a picture and text it to him."  (Kendra)
"We don't want him having a heart attack."  (Nikki)

Kendra takes Cameron from Nikki shortly after he falls asleep.

"Sleep tight, little man."  (Kendra)

"He seems like such a good baby."  (Nikki)

"For the most part, he is.  He will be even better once he starts sleep a little longer."  (Kendra)

Nikki gathers her handbag and takes one more peek at Cameron.  Kendra places the new giraffe in the chair,  and checks to make sure the baby monitor is turned up.

"Do you have time for a cup of coffee?"  (Kendra)
"Yes.  My schedule is pretty flexible today."  (Nikki)
"Great.  I can use a bit of adult company."  (Kendra)

 

I took a quick shot of Nikki's shoes.  Love them!

Seems like Kendra is settling into motherhood quite well.  In case you are wondering why she wasn't breastfeeding, she wasn't able to produce any milk.  Her difficult pregnancy may have contributed to this.  I'm not really sure.  She wasn't happy about this, but she realized it wasn't the end of the world.

Nikki surprised me.  I wasn't expecting her to take to Cameron as well as she did.  She was oozing baby love while she was there.  That's so unlike her.

  2. Love this. Those first days are so scary and amazing. BTW, off topic, Jack and Jill's in the Avondale tudor village has a huge dollhouse. Wooden and 60 bucks! But huge. A pick up truck is needed. FYI.

    1. Vita Plastica - Thanks! As for the dollhouse, I just don't have the room, or the time. I have two dollhouses here that need my attention and I just can't even deal with them right now. Thanks for thinking of me though. Maybe someone will read your comment and go for it.

  3. I'll bet it smells like baby powder and formula in there. Cameron is a sweet baby. Enough to make anyone fall for him...including Nikki. :-)

  4. I love when the goddess face mold is used for the Black dolls and other dolls of color. I think the Goddess mould is so adorable that every time I look at it, I just want to grab the doll and hug her!!! LOL! I know, weird! She is my favorite next to the Mbili and the Pazette moulds.

    The baby room is uber cute. I love the baby giraffe theme.

    1. Kenya - It will be very interesting to see if Nikki snaps out of this, or if she pursues the idea further. I never know with these dolls which way they are going to take me.

    1. Rosemary - Nikki surprised me, too. It's easy to catch baby fever when one is around a newborn. She should probably wait until he gets two, then see what she thinks. LOL!

  10. He's so cute, no wonder Nikki got a touch of baby fever - it may not last though. The giraffe is very cute (and I do like Nikki's shoes).

  12. I really the the room theme! Another giraffe added! I'll have to start looking for pattern baby clothing at the thrift stores now. I need an articulated body for my Steven but I can find one to match his complexion. Babies get a lot of visitors! Nice to see them. Cute story.

    1. Ms. Leo - I saw that new giraffe at Hobby Lobby and couldn't resist. As you can see, my Steven's body doesn't match, but I needed him to be able to move. Maybe one day I will find a better body for him.

  13. The baby room looks so cozy and stylish at the same time! The fluffy giraffe is the perfect size and adds a very sweet touch. Love the wall paper design and color, and of course, the beautiful craddle!

    1. V - Kendra said thanks. I really need to focus on my own wardrobe. My doll's wardrobe is putting mine to shame.

  15. Nikki saw that baby and her ovaries went "thump thump." The giraffes are so freaking adorable. I love that you were able to find them at that scale.
