Baby Annabell Brother
With the arrival of our baby boy just a few weeks away, I have wondered how the boys are going to take to having a baby around the house. Since it’s not practical to borrow one to try out their big brother skills, we put the new Baby Annabell Brother doll to the test instead. …
