St. Louis + American Girl

This past July, Carter had her first experience with American Girl. 

She had never been too interested in babies/dolls before this trip. So I was curious to see how she would do in the store. Memphis does not have one so we visited the St. Louis store when we were there seeing family. 

I do believe she has caught the "American Girl" bug. 

We all had lunch in the Bistro. 

Ok, she here is where it gets crazy! 

At first, Carter wanted the "Bitty Baby"...it has adorable (non-stringy) red hair...which had my vote!

As you could see from the pictures, she was in love...

...until she met the BIG American Girl doll and it was all over. So, the people at the American Girl store was super sweet and we did a little switch-a-roo. 

The whole experience was exhausting...in a good way! 

However, it is funny because now we cannot leave the house without carrying a baby or doll with us. 

Best friends! These two girls had a blast together!
