When Asked to Choose Between a Blanket and Pearls…
You wouldn’t believe it, but they’ll take the blankie.
So this is Baby Girl, hands on that satin trim already. In my post What is it About a Blankie, I talk about when I first noticed that Baby Girl was hooked to the corner of her blankie. She would run her fingers over that pointed satin and it would get her to sleep night after night!
Well, in this pic, you can already see where the habit started. This is Baby Girl at just a few days old and she already has the corner of the blanket figured out!
That picture was taken moments before I scooped her delicate little body in my arms. Her back was as soft as peach fuzz. She was born at the end of November, and yet in this unpredictable Texas weather I had no choice but to let her teeny little body breathe. It was hot that day.
There are moments, when she’s curled up in my arms, that I can still see that little baby. Except there are hugs, kisses, and lots of tickles now, and every day is, somehow, sweeter…
