Aimee Moves to America

Aimee comes to America in 1905.

       Aimee is French. She was adopted by an American family living in Paris in 1904 and came to this country the next year. The name Aimee means beloved. Aimee's middle name is Aurelia. She was given that name because it means golden and she has beautiful golden hair like Goldilocks. 

       The dress that Aimee is wearing was made for her in 1904. Many little girls and their dolls had dresses like hers in those days.

       Aimee is as tall as most babies are when they are a year old. Her hands and feet are very small, though. They are not nearly as large as a baby's.
