Baby Alive Real Surprises OOTD and MORE...

Violet in her new bracelet and necklace

Baby Alive Jewelry

Today, Zoe and I made bracelets and necklaces for our Baby Alive Real Surprises dolls. We used beads and some stretchy string. Here is baby Violet sucking her thumb. She had some Baby Alive Pears, and made a stinky, so she was really tired afterwards. She found her thumb, and has been sucking on it all night. I guess she is a thumb sucker, now! She is fast asleep, sucking her thumb, in her little playpen that Zoe gave her. It matches her car seat with purple and colored chevron pattern. Her outfit is one that came with a matching outfit Zoe got last year at K-Mart. Zoe's outfit doesn't still fit her, but this outfit, which is intended for 18 inch dolls, such as American Girl, fits my Baby Alive Real Surprises doll, Violet, perfectly. :-) It has little black pants and a striped colorful dress, and looks darling on Violet. :-)

Zoe's Baby Alive is Getting Replaced by Hasbro

Eloise has been shipped back to Hasbro to be replaced. Zoe has been really sad without her, today, and this was only the first day without Eloise. She has spent tons of time with Violet, and she even got to feed Violet her pears, but she still is really sad with out her precious Eloise. She has said that when she gets the replacement, she isn't sure if it's name will still be Eloise, so that is still to be determined.

My Baby Alive Real Surprises isn't Working

I got my Baby Alive Real Surprises, on January 24th, and it is January 31st, and it isn't working, at all. I am really attached to Violet, so the thought of getting a replacement doll really breaks my heart. Zoe felt the same way about having to send Eloise back, but she really wanted her Baby Alive to work. We have both already trimmed their hair and really grown attached to our babies, so I am really not sure what I will do. :-( I want her to talk and interact with me, but I feel sad to not have this specific Baby Alive... Is it weird to be so attached to a plastic child? I'm not sure what to do. :-( I wish it would just work! I thought maybe I had fed her too much water at once, or something, and I thought after a few days she would work. I even opened her and tried drying her a little, and she was still kind of working at that time. Now, though, she isn't working, at all. I'm not sure what I am going to do. If I do get a replacement, though, she will still be named Violet, and I will definitely trim her hair, again. I will try to feed her less water and food at a time, though, if I do get a replacement, because I do not want to have to have my Baby Alive replaced, again!

Hasbro Replaces Zoe's Broken Baby Alive Real Surprises Doll!

Zoe is really happy! We heard back from Hasbro, and I have to say that I am impressed with their customer service. In regards to Zoe's Baby Alive Real Surprises doll, they said they would replace her. They sent me a postage paid shipment label, and even though Zoe's baby has been given a haircut, they will give her a whole new Baby Alive to replace the one she has that isn't working. Hasbro's customer service even said, "Feel free to keep all of her accessories". They seemed really personable when I wrote back asking if it was okay that Zoe had given Eloise a haircut, and said it was absolutely fine. I feel really wonderful about the whole situation, and will be packing Eloise for shipment, tomorrow...UNLESS she is working.... Maybe she is drying out and working again, because tonight, Zoe turned Eloise on, and she was working. We will give it a try, tomorrow, and if she is working, then we won't need to send her in. We shall see!! I will be sure to update if Eloise is working, and if not, how long it takes to receive the Baby Alive Real Surprises replacement doll. So far, I am IMPRESSED with Hasbro's customer service. They said they want to make quality products for their customers. :-)

Baby Alive Taken Apart

Well...Our Baby Alive's have not been working well. I wrote Hasbro, and haven't heard back, so I bit the bullet, and took them apart. They were wet inside near the electronics. I'm not sure if we fed them too much, or what, but they were definitely wet. :-( So.... I dried them inside with cotton balls, and put them back together. They still aren't working, but we are hoping they will dry out the rest of the way on their own, and start working, again. Until then, they are on an imaginary food diet.

Opening Baby Alive 

For anyone interested in seeing what Baby Alive looks like inside, I made a small video. It isn't the best of quality, because I was working on Baby Alive, while holding  the camera, so I only took quick video of the process. Here it is, for anyone wanting to see what Baby Alive looks like on the inside. :-)

Zoe is Sick

Zoe is home from school sick, today. She is laying on the couch watching Netflix with her Baby Alive, Eloise. <3

I posted here, about ordering a Baby Alive Food and spoon set, in hopes that the spoon would be magnetic. In update, we got the set, and the spoon is, in fact, magnetic. It isn't the same spoon that was in the photo, but its magnetic. The spoon is a little larger than the original spoon that came with Baby Alive Real Surprises, and the magnet seems a bit stronger, but looks like a great spoon. So, if you lost your magnetic Baby Alive Spoon, then this is a great solution!

Baby Eloise is Feeling Better

Zoe's Baby Alive Real Surprises Doll is feeling a little better, today. She works a little bit when we push her button, now. She isn't working perfectly, but we have high hopes that she will be all better soon. Zoe is feeling happy and hopeful. <3 data-blogger-escaped-br="">
Eloise and Violet are playing quietly in the playpen, right now. They are having fun drinking imaginary milk in their real baby bottles and real baby pacifiers during their quiet time. We are crossing our fingers that Eloise will be all better, soon. Hopefully she just needs a little time to dry out, or something like that.


We still haven't heard from Hasbro, but hopefully things will resolve themselves completely within a few days, and Zoe's Baby Alive will be working like new, again. :-)
