Sweet, Giggling Baby Doll




On a run to Wallymart, I meandered down the toy aisles, on the lookout for a doll crib for my little granddaughter.

They didn't have any but I distinctly heard a baby giggling.  

Sure enough, a dolly called "My Sweet Love"  not only had the most adorable baby laugh, she kicked her little legs up and down.



Right there in the toy aisle, I burst out laughing.

The dolly laughs and kicks when you move in front of her or pass your hand through the air near her.



I bought her on the spot for my darling little grandbaby.



Once home, I hung the bag  with the dolly in it on the kitchen door.

Hubs walked by and the little doll's baby-like giggling began.

His eyes opened wide.  "What's that?" he asked, rather incredulously.

"It's  a 'My Sweet Love' doll, " I said, giggling hysterically.

Can't wait til my grandbaby visits and I place the laughing baby doll in her little arms.



Renaming her "Baby Giggles" seems appropriate. 

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A DOLLY THAT LAUGHS?

A doll that laughs is new to me, and this one is adorable. You might need to get one to keep at your house too!

Oh how cute she is . I'm sure your little one will just love it. I bought some new things for my grandsons to see when they come to my house this weekend too. They are all superhero things. I only have boys.

Hi Susan, I finally am able to leave you a comment! YEAH....have been having trouble with your blog. Oh this baby doll is so cute and your little grandbaby is going to love it! I went to dinner with my high school buddies tonight and we had so much fun talking about our grandchildren. So fun. I also want to try your soup recipe.
Have a great week my friend,
Love,
Linda

Hi Susan,
That is just so cute, and giggled when I read about your husbands reaction :) Have a great day!

A giggler is better than a crier who only hushes when you shove the pacifier in...and then the kid loses the pacifier. She is a cutie and your little cutie will love her.

awwwwh,she is cute. You know there was actually a doll called Giggles back in the late 60's early 70's,my daughter had one and it giggled.that is until my hubby leaned on her when she was sitting between us in the car and her head fell off. Much to my daughters horror. I'm sure that wont happen to your beauty though.x

Very cute baby doll; I'm sure your grandaughter will be thrilled! I would have loved a giggling baby doll when I was a kid. Bet you would have too.

Enjoy your 2 baby dolls...

I came across a shelf full of these dolls at Wal-Mart at Christmas and was surprised as they all started to giggle. It made me smile and giggle a bit myself. Your Grandbaby will love her and I have a feeling she will love you even more for thinking of her.

Oh, my! I've never seen one of these dolls before! Hope your granddaughter enjoys it!

It is so much fun being a grandma...your little grand daughter will love the doll as soon as she hears the doll giggle. Be prepared to have a moment of true grandma joy. :)

What a lovely doll... I'd like one of these for myself.... no grandies young enough for her... all into electronic gadgets and apps...
Have a good week
Hugs and Blessings ..
