Why the heck are these dolls and their accessories so darn expensive??!! Here she is with her surprise!!

Oh my goodness those are the cutest pictures! They bring back so many memories too!

My daughter started with Bitty Baby. She really liked her but I LOVED her! The clothes and accessories are amazing and I was a huge baby doll fan as a little girl (and... ahem... maybe as a grown woman too). She had so many outfits and the little stroller and the adorable moses basket and I don't know what all. When she out grew little Bitty she got a Kitt doll. My daughter never got into dolls as much as I did so I must admit many times Kitt's clothes were changed by me. She had the stand and I'd see Kitt up on her armoire wearing the same clothes and I couldn't stand it. Especially if it was a holiday. It's December- why isn't Kitt in her Christmas dress yet?!! When she outgrew Kitt I got her Spring Pearl- one of the little collector dolls who represent different cultures. She read the book but had no interest in the doll so I finally admitted defeat. She loved all of the American Girl books though.
