Ode to Galiftum and Fifsheese
For Christmas Katie got a baby doll from each of her grandmas. She likes them equally well, whichever is around she picks up and kisses and chews on a little. Ryan, on the other hand, has taken a particular liking to the doll from Grandma Cookies. (I think he likes that one because it came with a little bottle to feed her with.)
Some days he is in a very paternal mood and will carry the doll around or rock her with a blanket or put her in a little box as her bed.

I asked him what the baby's name was. He was a bit confused with the idea that he can name something and asked ME what her name was."You can pick one," I told him. "Whatever you want, you can choose."
After a long pause he said, "Baby Cow."
Sounds good to me.
He sticks with his name choice and always calls her Baby Cow. It reminds me of when Rachel named her dolls Galiftum and Fifsheese (Jana might correct me on how one would spell those names) and she regularly called them that. Ryan has also named Grandma Bayles' doll, Cow. Katie has one other baby. That one is Mama Cow. Creative, AND distinguishable. If only naming children were REALLY that easy.

Would you mind asking Ryan what he suggests for our baby girl? (He's got to have exhausted all of the cow names, right?"
I wouldn't be so sure. There is still Daddy Cow. Anyway, I asked what he thought Aunt Jamie and Uncle Ryan should name their baby and he said, "I don't know." Further prodding resulted in the response, "Maybe Baby Uncle." So, I don't think he's going to be much help for you. :)
I can still get Rachel howling with laughter when I remind her that she had those names for dolls.
As a two year-old she never atually wrote their names down, but I always imagined them as Galiftum & Fifshees--so you did great! ha ha

And nothing wrong with Maybe Baby Uncle for a girl...she probably exists somewhere in the Pacific Islands, wouldn't you say, Jamie?
