Here are some pictures of Emma's first bath with us...she loves bubble baths we've discovered.  Honey has taken a special liking to Emma too and didn't want to leave her side while taking a bath.

It's a good thing we had some little rubber duckies for Emma to play with!  The dolls are going to have to look for some little toys for Emma to play with.

After enjoying her bubble bath Emma got all cozy in her new pajamas.  They are the new Bugs & Butterflies PJ's for dolls from American Girl that retail for $24.

I have to say too, that these just might be my all time favorite pj's for dolls that have been offered by American Girl. They are adorable!  I love the pattern of the fabric and the little details with the pink piping along the sleeves and collar and the buttons as well as the ruffles along the bottoms of the pants are just TOO CUTE for words!  I really recommend this set, we love it!

And now for a couple more close-ups of Emma...

Such a little sweetie!

Emma's First Day with Us...

It was so nice that we got Emma in the mail just in time for the weekend here...that meant we got to spend some quality time getting to know her right away.  Right away she enjoyed some special treats and of course she got to meet and get to know all of her new friends here as well.

We think she is happy with her new "forever home."  We know that we are happy with her joining us!  I found her for a reasonable price on eBay and she came with a Bitty Bear and wearing this sweet little Bitty Baby Berry Picking outfit. It also came with a little hat and the board book that originally came with the set.

The doll itself is truly in pretty good shape considering her tag reads 2002. I was a little worried about her hair because the photos on eBay weren't that great but as you can see here it's almost perfect!  She is just so sweet!  I actually think she is cuter than the blonde Bitty Twin available now through American Girl.  I like the shorter hair for a toddler doll I think...makes her seem more innocent and young.

I love the little patch of hair on top of her head too...it's actually kind of like what Zoey looked like when she was a little one.  I would always put that little patch of hair in a little pony on the top of her head just like this doll!  Too funny!

I hope you are looking forward to seeing more cuteness from Emma in the future because I have a feeling we'll be taking more photos of her in the days to come!

Welcome home Emma!

Happy Valentine's Day!

It's the day after but the wish for you is still the same!  For the longest time now Zoey has asked for a set of Bitty Baby Twins.  I've discouraged her from them since it would mean the purchasing of two dolls, she already has a Bitty Baby and the twins are a pricey purchase that I worry she would outgrow after just a short while.  The first time she asked for them I thought it was just an impulse thing but they remained on her list.  I saw this blonde girl Bitty Twin (retired) on eBay for a nice price and she seemed to be in good shape for having a tag that read 2002.  She arrived just in time for Valentine's Day and she is so sweet!!  Tickled that we got her and boy was Zoey surprised because she wasn't expecting to get a Bitty Twin ever after all our discussions about them.  So, she now has one little blonde Bitty Twin who she has named Emma.  Emma has warmed our hearts here this Valentine's Day, that's for sure.  I know there won't be many more days of her wanting to play with a baby doll so I will treasure the ones that she does while they're here.  

Hoping you enjoyed a joyous and love filled day this year!
