Bertie takes a bow....

I have been very very slow in introducing Alberto, or Bertie as he'll be known, my new little blond Gregor baby.  Bertie arrived well over a week ago but I've been busy sewing so he was left to his own devices for some time until I finally took some photos of him.  Unfortunately, the weather wasn't so good when I was taking the photos so they were taken inside with flash, so they're not great but I thought I'd share them all the same.

So far he doesn't have any other clothes than those he had when he arrived, but luckily for him, his only outfit is a cute one made by DollyDoodles, so he's doing quite well really!   However, I'm really looking forward to making something for him to wear.  He is from 1969 and has the raised eyelids and is a sexed boy.  His eyes are lovely and deep brown but his lips have oxidised.

I think he's already proving to be a bit of a 'joker' even at this young age!! ;)

Expecting a baby!!!

Yes, at my age!!!!

After all this time of procrastinating, I am finally expecting a baby!  Yes, he will hopefully be here next week.  It was all very simple in the end, no nine months of indigestion, swollen ankles and stretchmarks this time round, no, just a quick chat with Shelly and hitting a few buttons on Paypal and he's on his way!!!

And yes, I know I said that I didn't want to add any more dolls to my Sasha family, but  1) I had already decided before Christmas that I might want a baby (I have witnesses!!!), and 2) he is just a small little fellow and won't eat much so therefore doesn't count!! :)

Here is his photo stolen in broad daylight from Shelly's site:

And he's described as thus:

1969 Sexed baby boy in Dollydoodles outfit . This sweet faced little chap is one of the earliest babies produced and comes complete with his original stringing striped to his legs , usually these babies have a quirky brow but this little baby missed out ;o( . He has beautiful soft and silky perfectly styled hair and raised lids with dark brown eyes . His lips have oxidised. He comes wearing a velcro nappy and a sweet little Dollydoodles outfit which is a little loose at the waist so could do with some new elastic. 

I think I'm going to call him Alberto, or Bertie for short!
