Meiyie Baby Play Doll Review
Alice has a new baby! Check out the Meiyie Baby Doll. This is a 16″ baby doll and arrives in an adorable little outfit with an embroidered teddy bear on the front and white hand and ankle cuffs. The outfit closes with Velcro. Adding the matching cap with little ears is a cute addition.I am very torn with this review; let me tell you why.

Alice loves this part!! Stella makes other…
