Meet Layla:
Layla is Cherish’s doll. She is Chinese, she is the size of a real infant, she has soft skin with very detailed features, and she wears real children’s clothing—size “newborn”.
Since we brought Andrew home from the orphanage, he has been looking out for Layla. Truly, he keeps an eye on her.
He kisses her.
He hugs her.
He brings her toys to play with.
He often brings a toy over to her and plays next to her--so she is not alone.
He gives her full body hugs.
He loves on her!
The following pictures are further understood when you realize that he lingers over Layla.
There is no hurry.
There is a deep longing and desire to be close to her.
It moves Derek and me to tears.
He was trying to teach her how to use the "airplane" toy:
We have a feeling Andrew is missing one of his little buddies from the orphanage.

I love the pics. Too adorable. I have some clothes for her too (the doll). I'll bring them when I come up.

He may not be missing anyone in particular. Maybe he is just being loving towards someone smaller than him. He has such a sweet spirit and gentleness about him.
those are about the sweetest pics ever! thanks for sharing.
