Mildred

I was going through old boxes today and found my Mildred. Who's Mildred you ask? She is/was my very first baby doll. She was there to greet me when I was born and has been with me ever since.
Her body is a little yellow now, I'm hoping a good washing will restore her beautiful light pink color.
Doesn't Mildred have the sweetest face? So calming and beautiful.
As I'm writing this, I just asked my mom why she named this doll Mildred. Here's the short story behind it. :)
My Nana actually named her, because she had a very good friend named Mildred and my Nana said this doll looked just like her. Sooo the name stuck. :)

Do any of you have a doll or stuffed animal that's been with you since birth??

  2. Oh. My. Gosh. I have the EXACT SAME DOLL, except she's grey now. Ha! Her name is Dubby...I was 1 and a half, tried to say "Babydoll" and it came out "Dubbah-dah." So the name stuck.

  7. She's so cute! :) I used to have a couple dolls that looked a little similar, but the toy I wound up playing with the most, I got when I was 3. It was a beany baby cat named Prance, and I took her literally everywhere I went. XD

    Great post!

  8. I have a teddy bear name Truffles. His my first and he still looks like he brand new with lint on him! I always talk to him and the rest of my toys when I have a bad day.
    This is a reason I like Trufflehunter A LOT!!!

  10. When I was a baby, my granny gave me a big, huge stuffed Simba doll. But my dad has a chronological fear of hoarding stuff, so he got thrown out when I was eight. I loved him to death... literally. He was all matted down when we got rid of him =D

  13. I have a special doll like that. I got her on my first Christmas, and I still have her. Her name was PowderBaby, because she smelled like baby powder. I was so original ;)
