Hello everybody! How are you? I am okay. We have had a pretty good week. Mom has been off from work, so we have been to several places. We went shopping, out to eat, and even to the zoo. I’ve decided we’ll talk about the zoo next week. Mom finally bought me some new clothes when she went shopping! 

I fit newborn baby clothes, and when she goes shopping there rarely seems to be any in that size. But she went on her birthday and there was some outfits! We’ve already managed to get the shirt a little dirty, but I don’t care!

I hope you’re all having a good week! Talk to you next week!

Hallo everyone! How has your week been? Things have been pretty quiet around here.
Mom said that we couldn’t afford a new TV for the bigger kids, but she gave me something that is pretty close—her old phone!

It doesn’t get any cell phone service, but it works just fine on our wifi! So now we can watch our own Netflix choices! Foster, Milton, Caleb and I were watching Netflix for a while, and then some of our AG friends came to see what we were doing.

Sometimes, human fingers, even if they’re doll sized ones, help, so Shiloh, Adelaide and Mercedes helped us with the apps.

We ended up deciding to listen to some music instead because we all couldn’t see the screen at the same time. We listened to it for a whole hour! I think I like the phone almost better than the idea of a TV! What do you think?
Talk to you next week!

Hello! How are you all? We’re all right here in Wisconsin. Mom visited eBay this week and bought Caleb some new clothes. One of the outfits is a new version of his dinosaur t-shirt, but the second one is brand new. It is a bright green sweatshirt with the words ‘rawr’ on it.

I wish it came in my size! I love dinosaurs, and I think it’s very dinosaur-ish! The hood is too big for Caleb. (Smallfrys/Buddies have big heads!) Mom did buy Foster and I some new shirts though, so I shouldn’t complain.

We both happen to fit infant size three months, so when they go on clearance, Mom almost always buys us a new shirt. (We still really like Build-a-Bear, but they seem not to keep pretty as long as baby clothes.)

See—more dinosaurs! Mom says it is time to go to bed. She has to work in the morning! Talk to you all later!

Mom and I are doing pretty good about this blogging thing. Working ahead helps a lot!
Today I’m going to talk about things that make me happy. What makes you happy? My family and friends make me the most happy! I’m glad I have such great friends—and that my siblings aren’t so bad either! I have Milton, Robinson, Foster, and Caleb to keep me company. We spend a lot of time together in the car when Mom works.

I also love books, ice cream, and bright sunny days. I like tulips and blankets. I also like the color blue! I like going for car rides with Mom. I like pictures of dogs on Mom’s Instagram! Are there any internet things that you like? I spend a lot of time online with Mom.
Hope you all are having a great day!

Today, I’m going to talk about my friend, Caleb. Mom found him at Goodwill ages ago. We’re not sure what kind of teddy bear he is. His tag was on his arm, and Mom cut it off a long time ago.

Caleb is my teddy bear. He also is Mom’s travel bear. He is with her almost all the time. He can fit inside her purse! She has taken him on some road trips to Door County, Chicago, and even Minneapolis. He also gets to go inside when she’s shopping, or eating at a restaurant. Milton, Foster and I have to stay in the car when she’s at work, but Caleb has accompanied Mom almost every day.
Caleb fits the mini Build-a-Bear clothes, so he often has a snazzy shirt on. It’s a dinosaur shirt now. He loves dinosaurs, adventures, and the color red. He doesn’t like being outside of Mom’s purse in public—he’s worried that he’ll get lost. He is my best friend.

He also has Carabella, a bear that Mom brought home to be his friend. They don’t always get along! He says that it is nice to have someone to talk to sometimes when they’re in Mom’s purse or bag together, but sometimes it just gets crowded! They’re both kind of cranky sometimes!
I’m feeling pretty good about this blogging stretch! I hope we can keep it up! We’re working ahead, so I think that will help a lot!

Mom filled out a whole bunch of postcards for PostCrossing. We were wondering if any of my blog friends would like a postcard. We could only find Button's address and would like to send more out. We will send everywhere, but my international friends will have to wait until Mom gets more special stamps!

 

On one more note, Caleb got a new shirt! Oliver sort of stretched the old one!

Have a great day!

Mom went to her sister's house yesterday and rescued Chloe from her shipping container! The main hug has been reunited! Mom also brought Carabella home, so Caleb has a friend his size now. (Now if we could just get Oliver to leave him alone, he'd be a very happy bear!)

We've decided to name the bunny Cotton! I'm sure that bunnies eat cotton plants given half a chance, and it's sort of literary too!

Talk to you all later!

A few days ago, there was a fire at our house. Mom was at work, and her mom, dad, and the dog got out fine. But it was mostly in our room, so all our things and a lot of our friends are gone. Milton, Caleb and I were in Mom's car, and four of the AG girls and the BJD kids were downstairs, so they were saved. Mom says that she is going to replace most of our friends as time goes on, since we've decided that it's their spirit that lives on. Mom, Oliver, and the rest of us are in a hotel room until they clean up the house.

We will still post though. It just might take a little bit before we have something to post about. Talk to you all later!

My mom's parents left on their vacation to Alabama. That means that more of my friends can come downstairs and sit with us!

Robinson and Foster appreciate the change in scenery!

July 20th, 2012

A long time ago, my mom found a fellow plushie blog called Buttons’ Because. In an attempt to exchange mail, my mom found out that Buttons and his mom lived in Illinois, which is very near (at least in the plushie world) where we live in Wisconsin.

Fast forward a year or two, and Buttons’ mom announced that they were coming up north for a graduation party! It was located only about a half an hour away from where I live! We quickly agreed to meet!

And here we are! My mom and Buttons’ mom met at a McDonalds, had a little breakfast, and then went to a local park to take pictures! Don’t we both look really snazzy! It was a beautiful day!

Caleb and Scruffy decided that they also wanted their picture taken. I like their matching Chicago White Soxs hats! Maybe I ought to get Mom to make Caleb and I some matching hats!

We went for a little walk. Buttons’ Mom found some really cool boulders to let us climb on. For a bear who spends most of his time either on the bed, on the couch, or in his mom’s arms, the climbing was really cool! I told Mom that she’s got to take me out climbing again real soon!

I liked being outside! Mom lets me go outside on the porch all the time, but it was nice to see new things!

Mom and I think we ought to break up the visit into more posts so it doesn’t get too long—but you all get to see all the pictures!

June 4th, 2012

My mom and the BJD kids went to another meet-up last weekend. I thought I would share a few pictures because I know that there are people who read my blog who like the BJD kids like Mom! Caleb went with too—since he is her travel bear!

This time it was a little distance away. This meant that Mom and her friend had to start earlier. While Mom is a morning person, her friend is not, so that started the day a little late!

This time, Mom didn’t take as many pictures. There were a lot of people there and not a lot of room. Mom isn’t very fond of pushing her way into groups of people, so she made do! On the Flickr photo page, you can see the dolls much better!

Wren and Raven did get to meet someone as tiny as they were. This is apparently a little boy vampire. Mom said that she didn’t quite understand how he got dressed up in a dress with purple shoes, but it doesn’t really matter!

This is what Mom worked on while everyone else was sewing and such. She bought Wren and Lark an itty bitty sewing machine a while ago, and decided that they need some supplies! So now they have their own fabric stash!

Mom wants me to tell Bob T. Bear that Build-a-Bear makes clothes for smaller bears. They’re part of their SmallFry collection. The bears that you get from BAB are only about six inches tall, but they’re for rather rotund bears. They might fit an eight inch bear too. They fit Caleb, but they’re rather tight!

Mom remembered that we haven’t shared her zoo pictures here yet, so that’s going to be the next blog entry! She went with her sister and Caleb to the zoo a few weeks ago and took lots of pretty pictures!

Later!

Sigh. When Mom has tiring days at work, she never feels like helping me type. Things have been pretty quiet here though, so I guess I don’t have much to report.

Wren’s friend showed up. His name is Raven, and he is itty bitty.

He’s kind of cute, I think, but he’s really high strung! He’s always bouncing around and doing things. He’s so high maintenance that Mom invited another doll home to help keep track of him.

Meet Lark, Wren and Raven’s nanny/governess/au pair. Mom is letting her have some time off before they talk about what Lark’s going to do.  I think she’s going to have her hands full taking care of Raven, but what do I know! Mom says that they both need to go to school, but she doesn’t know of any place that would accept such tiny pupils!

After Mom took some photos off the camera and put them on the computer, we remembered that we forgot to tell you one big thing that happened. Mom took Milton, Caleb, and I INSIDE BUILD-A-BEAR! BAB was holding a 100 Million Friends Made event, and if you brought your BAB friend in, you got a free t-shirt. Mom carried us in a bag inside the mall. Milton and Caleb got to come out of the bag—Milton being a BAB, and Caleb was actually wearing BAB clothes. I was a bit miffed that she didn’t let me out of the bag, but then she reminded me that I am going to go on a HUGE outing in June! (Right, Buttons?!)

Mom says that it is getting near our bedtime, so I’m going to sign off here. I hope you all are having a good day!

Mom has been taking my friends and I to work lately. We sit in her car and wait for her lunch break. It’s been so nice! We get outside and get to see all sorts of interesting things.

Caleb and Wren get to go inside the building, while Milton and I wait in the car. During her break, sometimes we drive behind her building and look at the pond.

The pond itself isn’t very pretty—it’s a retention pond that doesn’t get cleaned out. But sometimes, there are birds there.

Including ducks, which are some of Mom’s favorite birds! This is a mallard (Anas platyrhynchos).
Does anyone else get to go on drives? I know Sullivan and Hammie get to go on all sorts of walks. Mom takes me for a walk sometimes in her backpack—maybe now since the weather is so nice, I can convince her to go!

March 30th, 2012

Mom, Milton, Foster, Caleb and I went to the mall a few days ago. While we waited in the car, Mom bought us something that she had seen in the Build-a-Bear flyer that we got in the mail.

I am the proud owner of a ‘pawpad!’ My mom loves electronics—and really wishes she could afford an ipad. But this is much more in our price range!
It’s kind of hard to write on, but Mom says that it is the thought that counts!
She also bought me a Build-a-Bear ‘pawtrack,’ sort of a BAB MP3 player. She says I look moody when I’m listening to it!

It plays some Build-a-Bear music—probably like 20 seconds a piece. It’s pretty cute!

It is REALLY loud when you hit one of the buttons though, so I don’t think I’ll be using it too much—at least when Mom’s around! (Mom’s not a big fan of loud noises, unless it’s one of her favorite bands!)
Hope you all are having a great day!

March 20th, 2012

Last month, my Mom took Wren, Caleb, and Adelaide to a ‘BJD Meetup.’ I didn’t know what that meant until Mom explained to me that meetups were groups of people who gathered for a common interest. Mom and one of her friends from work both like dolls like Wren, and her friend invited her to this meetup. It was going to be a crafty meetup, so Mom had to bring supplies.

Mom said that Wren was the star of the trip, so she got dressed up.

Wren said it was a lot of fun—she got to meet other dolls like her. She was the smallest by far!

This is Wren and Mom’s friend’s doll, Cillian. He was pretty much the average size!

The reason this all matters to me is that it got Mom interested in doll clothes making again. Right now, she’s working on making clothes for my AG friends, but she says that she won’t be able to resist making clothes for me for very long! She says that I am pretty charming when I want to be!

Hope you all are having a good day!
