Bitty Baby

Mammie wanted to buy Landry an American Girl Bitty Baby for Christmas. I thought we should go before Christmas and let her choose her baby. She has been talking for a few months about her baby named Plampia. We are not sure where she came up with that name but she has been adamant about that being her baby's name. We just had to go and find her. Mammie and I were so excited because we had never been to an American Girl doll store either. I must say I "got the tears" when we walked in. I can only hope to go back there many more times throughout the next years.

A very excited little girl not really understanding what to expect.

It was VERY overwhelming when we walked in. We made our way to the Bitty Baby section.

There are 5 different ethnicities of Bitty Babies. We showed her all 5 and let her choose which one was her Plampia. They are all sitting in their little bouncy seats just waiting to be adopted. She had a difficult decision but ultimately decided on the blond haired blue eyed baby. She said, "I want her because she has blue eyes like me". It was so precious to see her want a baby that looked like her. After we chose Plampia we sat at the soda fountain to get a dessert for Landry. She chose the ice cream cone trio. It was tiny cones with 3 assorted scoops of ice cream with bright colored sprinkles. She really enjoyed them and we enjoyed watching her.
Thank you Mammie for a good afternoon and for our new Bitty Baby, Plampia Gerhart. She is a great addition to our family. Landry immediately fell in love with Plampia. She hugged her and talked to her and sang to her on the way home.
What a precious baby. It was a hard day at the doll store. It's hard being a new mommy!
