Kyle was one of those that I couldn't decide if I liked him or not at first. But he grew on me. He was one of those "so ugly he is cute" kind of babies. But by the time he was adopted, I really fell in love with him. He was my big baby. 22 inches and 6 pounds. I dressed him as a girl and he just didn't fit the part at all!
I use only Genesis heat paints for painting and fine glass beads for weighting along with polyfil. I root the eye lashes on sleeping newborns, hand paint the eyebrows and add a touch of rooted hair to them as well. For awake babies I generally use eyelashes from Bountiful Baby but occasionally do root them.
