I've been buying NEW BORN BABY t-shirts at our local DOLLAR STORE here, for only $1.00. They fit our 5 lb girls perfectly and look so cute ! They even have sayings on them. " Daddy loves me" or " Mommy loves me" , and some others. Check them out at your nearest stores. You can always add trimming to them, or write what you want on them. Let me know if you have luck finding them.

Also I've found out that doll clothes ( vests, jackets, Jerseys)
size 18 doll have fit our girls perfectly, might want to check out your local craft store for those also. They cost more then the Dollar Stores but some of those clothes are so cute ! And I always look in the baby department for the small stuffed baby toys. They are safe without any eyes on them to come apart. Our girls have a collection from Walmart of the WILD ANIMALS set with the PIG, LION, ELEPHANT, and lamb. These are all machine washable.
OUr girls never ripped anything apart and are gentle with them, so if you have a "shredder" , don't give them these little animals.

BUT the most FAVORITE toy of our youngest is a yellow rabbit with pink ears that came in a McDonald Happy Meal a while ago. Its some character from a movie? Lindsey is always carrying that around with her, Im looking for another one but can't seem to find it.

Just thought I'd pass this along to you, what are your pets favorite toys ?

Good tips! How big are your girls lengthwise, so I can judge if a size 18 doll clothes would fit my Yoda (who is about a foot long I think). Amazingly enough, Yoda's absolute favorite toy is his stuffed CAT! He's had that cat the longest, and it's about twice the size of him, but he loves chewing it, biting it, and playing with it! For playing fetch, he likes little stuffed toys (slightly smaller than Beanie Babies) that vibrate with the pulling of the attached string. He has a ball playing tug-of-war with it too.

They just measured 11 inches lengthwise.

Those little stuffed animals from Walmart in the baby department are smaller then beany babys and washable.

LOL I did the same, I went to Kmart and bought 3 newborn t shirts for 4 bucks, I plan on adding some stencils to them since you just gave me the idea of writing on them myself! Thanks!

I love those pictures, especially 2,3,4, 14, and 16..... She looks so innocent and precious in the first 2, and that teacup shot is really cute! The one of her sleeping in your arms is adorable, and 16 looks like it would make a nice postcard ! Thanks for sharing them. You can cherish them forever, she'll grow so fast now.

Glad to hear you found some newborn shirts, I bet she looks just as adorable in them as our girls do. I'm hoping she will win over your Moms heart and she'll let you keep her in your room overnight, it must be so lonesome for her all alone without you thru the night. I feel so bad for Lunar, that she crys when you leave her, she's just a BABY ! I wouldn't be able to resist picking her up and loving her till she fell asleep, give her a hug from us.

I bet it won't take long before she RULES the house, you will learn that YORKIES RULE !

Too funny!! My 2 month old yorkipoo's favorite toy is a pink and red cat creature that was available at McDonald's at the same time as that yellow and pink rabbit creature. She LOVES it ! I belive they MIGHT be Pokemon toys. I'd try EBay.

I found the CUTEST sweater for my puppy at Marshalls, being sold as a Christmas ornament! $2.99 and it fit perfect!

Chewy's fav toy is a round, soft, squeaky toy. She squeaks it over and over again, as we encourage her to do it! She loves it and carries it around with her. If you can get it away from her, you can throw it and she will bring it back. She has alot of other toys, but she likes the ones that squeak the best.
