Baby Party!

So long ago when Eliana was just one, sshe picked up the most adorable little baby doll. She carried that (for her massive) box around our favorite toy store (Dilly Dally) for so long. Normally she would eventually drop the box in favor of something new that caught her eye. Not this time, she was not letting go of her baby. "Baby Beh" (it is more of a sound than a word, if that helps make sense of her name)

So we took her home that day. She's been Eliana's favorite baby all these years. She's literally falling apart from love. One leg and one arm both hanging on by stitches, matted hair, and a fair bit of dirt. We decided it was time to buy a new baby, so we went to Dilly dally again yesterday and got the exact same baby again.

She's officially been named Valentina, but I secretly imagine it won't stick. She calls her baby beh more than Valentina for sure. Time will tell.

Yesterday we had a little party to welcome the new baby and retire the old one. So far she hasn't really retired the old one. haha.

I'm sure you can't really tell which baby is new and which is old...

Are these Corolle dolls? I have a tiny Corolle Kalin that I figured I'd pass along to Kira at some point. :)
