I went to Bradford exhange and found something similar last night and am going to give it to her for Christmas. Its 18" long, comes with a pacificer and hospital braclet so you can write a name on it, a baby outfit, and the skin on the doll feels real because its made from two different vinyl formulas and it has hair and eye lashes. It looks like a real baby. It was 99.99. but you can pay for it in 4 installments, so on Christmas I planned on taking her picture next to it because she is just on inch longer then this doll right now.

It was incredible story to watch her granddaughter's growth during her first year and a pictorial journal all through her life! Talking to my friend her granddaughter who is now in her mid 20's has started the tradition with her daughter, taking pictures with her first baby doll and then in addition, one with her daughter's very own baby doll. How cool is that?
Congratulations on your precious gift from God to your family. My question however is... How will you get any quilting done now that you'll want to be holding her all the time? :0)
