Also known as Ugly Baby. I haven't checked in a while b/c Ugly Baby languishes at the bottom of the toybox/doll hierachy but I think she may well be a boy. I may have to get brave and dig her out for a look.<BR/><BR/>On a different note I am so pleased to hear the comments made by you/professional about promoting language development in smalls.
