Posted: 7/9/05 at 1:37amI only remember Chrissy and Velvet whose hair would grow when you pushed a button.

There was a doll that would go from baby to toddler - the legs would extend. I think that it was called 'Baby Grow Up,' or something similar.
Sorry, I can't be definite, but I was not really a doll girl.

I had Chrissy and Velvet - and then they came out with Baby Chrissy, who was my favorite, as she was like a real baby size-wise.
I do remember a doll that grew.

Posted: 7/9/05 at 10:54amMy favorite doll was Drowsy. When you pulled the string she talked, and had the greatest giggle ever!

Posted: 7/9/05 at 10:54amWas Chrissy's cousin Kerrie (who I also owned) the doll we're thinking of who grew?

mom, I just saw your post! I used to call Drowsy "Whiny." Awful!! I loved her though - my cousin had her and I always went straight for her when I visited.
I can still hear her whiny rendition of "I wannanother drink of waaaaaaaater!!"

from a google search:
Growing Up Skipper. Mint and includes that "red headband". The headband has actually faded to orange and it is a ribbon. Dressed in original bodysuit with blue collar, short skirt, long skirt, and blue scarf. A wonderful doll that "grows" with the sweep of an arm.
