Today my little baby girl turns seven years old! Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday she was a little 5 lb 7 oz and 18.5 inch bundle of trouble. Now she is a 45 lb and about 2/3 the height of me bundle of trouble. How the time flies......
For her birthday, we took the plunge and got her an American Girl doll. Ellie and I went to the store together at the Mall of America and she got to pick out the doll she wanted. We had already agreed ahead of time that Kit was the doll she wanted and she stuck to that even after seeing all the dolls in the store.
Ellie likes Kit because she looks like her. After Amanda's wedding, I will let Ellie cut her hair so that Ellie and the doll can look even more alike. I also went to JoAnn Fabric's the other day and am planning to attempt to make some clothes for Kit. This could get interesting, but as it is a doll and she can't voice her opinion of my sewing skills, it should be alright!
So Happy Birthday to my little Ellie Mae! You are getting so old! You are such a beautiful girl, so full of life and spunk. You always make me laugh with your witty view of everything.
I love you so very much!

FYI - At JoAnn Fabrics they have clothes for 18 in. dolls that do fit American Girls perfectly, most outfits are $10....with that 40% off coupon that's in the paper almost every Sunday, that's such a good deal on clothes it's not worth the trouble to make them yourself, unless you just happen to love sewing doll clothes, in which case don't let convenience hold you back!
