my very own bitty baby


 
Are you familiar with the American Girls Collection?  I was a huge fan of their books as a little kiddo.  Anyway...my baby sister had a Bitty Baby...and my Clara...well she looks just like Bitty Baby.  When we were home for Christmas Clara seemed rather enamored with that doll...it was really cute to witness.

She is nearing the 1st birthday mark (holy cow!?) and yet, I think she is still a tad too young for babydolls.  But maybe it's time to introduce a doll into her world of plush toys and blanket body animals?


Thoughts?

    My daughter got a Bitty Baby as her "big" Christmas gift from us. She was about 18 months old at that time. She started playing with dolls around 13-14 months, I'd say. She doesn't necessarily prefer her Bitty over the other dolls she has, but I know it's a doll that will last and probably one she'll love for years to come, once she's old enough to know what American Girl is.

    My cousin bought her little girl (a month or so older than Clara) a soft-bodied, yarn haired cabbage patch doll for Christmas and she loved it. I guess it's really up to what you think your little doll will like and is ready for.

    my mom got em her first baby doll (from Target) for her first Christmas (she was just about to turn one). My dad rolled his eyes & said, "she's way too young for that." Em couldn't have been more excited. The doll was more than half her size & we have the most precious photos of her carrying/dragging it around (oftentimes upside down). That was the start of Em's love of everything baby doll. Because she loved hers so much, we got a doll for her best friend's first birthday. She wasn't (& a year later still isn't) that interested. I guess it depends on the child.

    Have you seen the dolls that you can design to look just like your kids? You send in a photo of your child & they make one to look just like them. I can't wait for that. Maybe when Em is three.
