Christmas Baby Challenge baby goes home

Here’s the story of how my Christmas Baby Challenge baby came to be and met her new mommy…
I have an aunt with early onset alzheimer’s. She was diagnosed 5 yrs ago in her early 60s. She loves the babies I have made and always said she wanted one. Her daughter asked me to do the Kate sculpt for her, as it had long been her favorite. I finished in time for the Christmas challenge and entered her. I delivered her on thanksgiving and my aunt is overjoyed. She named her Jesse and loves her to death. Here is Jesse and mommy at their 1st meeting.


And just a better shot of Jesse

Very nice picture of them … she holds her very carefully …so this is when you put your hearth in a baby creating them then …you see it is so much worth it .

What a lovely picture with your aunt. She reminds me of an elderly intellectually impaired patient that I had, who had a “baby” that she lovingly dressed each day and took it with her everywhere. That was a wonderful gift of such a cute baby.

Wonderful thing you did for your aunt. It will bring her comfort and joy in this hard time.

I made the Kate sculpt for my mom’s 80th birthday and she loved her, too, but she is still independent, thankfully, with a little help here and there.
