What are babies?

I was holding the baby today. She is almost 13 months old and talking and walking all over the place. Lately she has been particularly cute, I was holding her while we were doing some schoolwork today and I asked, "What are babies? What are they? Babies are....?" I waited for one of the children to answer. After a few seconds Anna who is six answered, "Floor cleaners," a pause, "because they pick up everything they find that's on the floor."

Anna and Baby Mark

"Baby Mark" is finally no longer being mistaken for Baby Ezra. For a few months we would see Anna carrying the doll and hurry over to "rescue" Ezra! Ezra has finally grown past Mark size.
