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!

A little visitor comes to Spain....

A couple of days ago a little brown box arrived from the UK and I could hear snuffling sounds coming from within!  At first, having seen the return address on the box,  I thought it was Ronny's Chihuahua/Pug Cooper come to visit my Chihuahua, Kara,  but once I'd got the box opened, I realised that it was actually a baby!!  Yes a small little baby boy called Drake who has come to visit us here in Spain!

He was very tired after his long journey and a little bit tearful, but after he settled in, he proved himself to be a proper little charmer! 

Like all babies he enjoys playing Peek 'a' boo....although he did a lot more 'peeking' than 'booing'!!!

And again, like most babies, he has a fascination with his feet!  They made great 'playthings' for him, which is just as well, as we're a bit short of baby toys here at the moment, seeing as we've never had a baby to stay before!!

He wanted to suck one of his lovely shoes, but we had to put a stop to that because we don't want this lovely outfit that he arrived in, to be ruined by baby dribbles!

He looks a bit tired here, doesn't he?  I think he was starting to droop after all his rolling about on the blanket!

Oh! A new burst of energy!! He has seen the boat and of course, as his name suggests, he LOVES boats and the sea!!  He even pulled himself up on his little chubby legs to get a better look at the sails!

He looks very pleased with himself here, having stood up like this!  I don't think it'll be long before he's walking!!

After all his playing, Drake decided it was time for a nap, so we turned down the lights and he quickly went off to sleep....dreaming, I'm sure, of his adventures when he finally goes to his 'forever home'!!!

Drake is a non sexed Sasha baby who has been donated by Ronny of Absolutely Sasha blog.  I will give the link here so that you can go and read for yourself what Ronny is doing with little Drake!  Such a fantastic idea!!  I hope that when he leaves here in a couple of weeks, he'll have some new clothes to take with him, as well as some toys to keep him entertained on the next leg of his journey.  I will keep you all updated of his exploits whilst he's with us, here on my blog!!
