I have heard lots of stories of kids pretending to do "mommy" things when a new baby enters the picture. My sister regaled me with a tale of her daughter taking out the breast pump, putting it on her belly button, and saying she was pumping to feed the baby.
Tonight it was our turn. As I was getting Ant ready for bed, he ran into Timmy's room and hopped up on the bed I'm sleeping in for now. Moved over to the side where I nurse Timmy, propped up the cushions, and put the boppy around himself, "wike Mommy!".
Then he grabbed one of the nursing pads, and put it on his belly, saying "put on nursing pad". He hung onto the nursing pad as I changed his diaper, then when I pulled off his shirt, he moved it up to his nipple, "nursing pad on nipple". When I pulled on his pajamas (the sleeper kind with feet), he kept the nursing pad in place - and when it slid down inside the pj's after he was running around a bit, asked me very nicely to put it back.
The kicker was when he walked up to Timmy, who was hanging out in the swing, and said, "Timofy, I have a nursing pad on, so you can't eat!"

Way back before we were even thinking about kids for real, we were making fun of people who give their kids wierd names, or misspelled names. We joked that we would call our first son Phred, our second Fwed, and our third Schweffel (after a hockey player whose name we found amusing). Phred has arrived and turned into Antony, and Fwed became Timothy. Only time will tell if Schweffel will come to pass.

Yeah, same thing at our house. Claire and Katherine have been pretending to nurse their baby dolls, especially Claire. It actually made me stop and think -- I only remember feeding bottles to my baby dolls, but then I never recall seeing a baby nurse, whereas I don't think the girls have ever seen a baby take a bottle.
