American Girl Addy Mini

Hello everyone! I'm still here, and I'm still collecting! I've slowed down somewhat on purchasing new dolls, and I'm way behind on my blogging. Part of that is due to a new opportunity that I have at my job that I'm very excited about. I'm much busier, have a lot to learn, a lot of training to go through, and I'll be working more overtime. I'm super excited about it! In the meantime, I have a few draft blog posts that I need to complete and share, and this is one of them. Last year, I got my first American Girl doll - a mini Addy.

This is the mini American Girl Beforever Addy Walker doll. The doll comes with a book. Here she is out of the box.

She is adorable. Here is a close-up. Her hair is braided and crisscrosses in the back, and she has blue ribbons in her hair that match her dress. She wears gold hoop earrings.

Here she is from the back, where you can see the back of her hair in more detail. Her dress is gorgeous, and she wears white knickers beneath her dress. She wears a pair of white socks and black boots.

Addy's book is large for her, but large enough for a child to read.

Here is the front and back of Addy's book.

Addy's new friend Buckwheat offers to carry her book for her.

Here are some of Addy's similarly sized friends: Barbie S.I.S. Kianna, Our Gang Buckwheat, Addy, Shawn, and Janet.

And just the females this time: Paula, Kianna, Addy, Janet, and Keyshia.

Addy is a cutie and fits in well with my 1/6 scale child dolls. Her head is a little larger, but it's not huge. I'm happy to have added her to my collection.

Evidence

Today my husband and I were in the car together after I got off from work, and he asked about my Venus Williams doll. I left Venus on my bookshelf above my desk yesterday after shooting some photos (I'm way behind on my blogging, but the Venus photos are coming soon, along with others). I told my husband that I was surprised that he recognized Venus. He said "What? I watch ESPN!" I told him that the doll represents Venus in 2000 when she was only about 20 years old, and I told him that I was impressed that he recognized her. He said that she was fairly easy to recognize, since she had on her tennis outfit.

When we finally made it home, I noticed that my dolls that I'd left out had been re-positioned. The way that I left them, Venus was sitting alone, and Buckwheat was standing by Addy. So check out the photograph below for evidence of my husband's doll play (a rarity indeed). Venus is now holding Buckwheat on her lap, and she has her arm around Addy. When I saw this, I couldn't help but to say "Awwwwwwwwww!"
