Doll-A-Day 2019 # 247: Mine to Love Natalie

  Ken and I have had a busy week! We have spent the last three days driving all over the big city shopping for a used car,and running someone Emma knows to a doctor's appointment. (Why did we take him? Because Emma is in California filming a documentary on a 70 year old retiree who crossed the country doing Karaoke,and we have her truck.) We think we finally found something. We may have a car by tomorrow!
  Today's doll is this little girl.

She's Natalie from the Mine to Love series of dolls by Melissa and Doug.

She's not a doll I'm keeping,but she is cute and she is the perfect size to show you the really cute rocking seat I got at Goodwill the other day.

Isn't it great?
 

She's just over 12 inches tall and she fits it perfectly,

 

I've been trying to think if what dolls I have that would work well with this seat. Patience maybe?

This cute little girl has an open mouth...

...and as it does with many kids, the thumb fits perfectly in the mouth!

  Two of my three kids were thumb suckers. Ivy was the lone non thumb sucker. She was also the one who fussed and didn't sleep her whole first year!
 

This doll has a soft stuffed cloth body,with vinyl limbs and head.

She has sleep eyes with 'real' lashes.

I don't think these are her pants, but she had nothing else.

She has a ponytail.

There's a little bit of Mary-Kate and Ashley/Michelle Tanner to her.

That's the doll for today.

See you again tomorrow for another one.
