Baby Mertash

This doll was given to Joely by Auntie Jo, and she's been a big fave pretty much from day one. Not long after we got her, Joely saw a baby on Sesame Street named Natasha, and started calling her doll Natasha as well.

However, soon after, "Natasha" evolved into "Mertasha" (or "Mertash" for short), and that's the way it's pronounced to this day - regardless of the fact that Tan and I still call the doll "Natasha".
