"What do I do with "IT" ????

Alex has yet to fully understand that "IT" has a name.  "IT's" name is Lola.    Alex "not-really-a-baby-kind-of-guy" Hill gets uneasy holding "IT."  He will say, "What if "IT" cries?  Why does "IT" have such a big bow?  How am I suppose to hold "IT"?  But, "IT" has settled quite comfortably into the arms of her cousin.  
Alex and "IT's" mother!
