Baby doll

Caroline is a beautiful baby with chubby pink cheeks and a headful of ink black hair. She looks just like her daddy, but when I was holding her yesterday and looking down at her angelic sleeping face, I was reminded of a china doll I played with at my grandmother's years ago. It had belonged to my Aunt Sara, and was called a Bye-lo Baby, a doll that was extremely popular in the early 1920's, with its head and hands painted china, or maybe bisque, and a cloth body.

It's interesting how siblings can have such different coloring. William has very fair skin, with blue eyes and brown hair, while Jake has more of a honey-colored complexion and big brown eyes and blond hair. Caroline has the dark good looks of her father, but I suspect that her eyes will be blue like William's. Anyway, they are three very pretty children.

On their way home from the hospital today, Rosey and Pat took Caroline by Mrs. Dewar's, to intoduce her to her great-grandmother.
