Baby Beth -

While cleaning out closets, organizing ourselves for your arrival, your Grandfather found an old bag in a back corner where your mother’s first baby was hiding - just waiting for you. Baby Beth was a gift from your mother's Grandmother and Grandfather MacNabb for her second birthday. She quickly inherited many of your mother’s first clothes and became an integral part of our family. As you can see, her hair was often lovingly washed and brushed, resulting in a rather casual windblown look. Never a creature of high fashion, Baby Beth was a loyal everyday companion, always ready for anything. The nighty she is wearing here was made for her by your great-grandmother. She made one for your mother of the same material and they often climbed into bed in their matching outfits.

In that same bag we also discovered some other clothes that "Mom-mom" knit for one of your Mom's smaller dolls (whose whereabouts are currently unknown). Maybe some day you will have a baby who will inherit these family heirlooms.
