Karen, Robb's Aunt gave Abby this baby doll a couple years ago. It is an antique doll and it evidently was very special to her and quite a doll for its time. She really wanted Abby to have it as a keepsake of her as she grew up. Robb's Grandma Carol made the dress so Abby would also have something homemade from her as well. The thing is, Abby was terrified of the doll! It admittedly is a crazy looking doll! It resembles one of those dolls on horror movies but she graciously accepted it and had put it up in our closet for safe keeping. Emmy found it one day and fell in love with her! She decided to name her Ruby, ironic since Ruby was Karen's grandma. Emmy seems to look past the cloudy glass eyes, crazy hair and old fashioned outfit. She loves baby Ruby more than any other baby. I even have to admit after seeing how much Emmy loves her I have found a soft spot in my heart for Ruby too. This doll has got her second chance at being loved by a little girl!
