When I was pregnant for Maxwell, and shortly after we moved to Los Angeles, I visited a baby boutique in Santa Monica called Giggle. I’ll admit it, I was itching for some cute itty bitty baby stuff to buy for our sweet Babe ;) I was hardly past my first trimester, maybe 15 or 16 weeks, but I needed to buy something. I had a few requirements — I wanted something unique and I wanted it to be orange. As a kiddo I had a lovey I carried around with me. His name was Smoochie and he was a puppy with a rattle in the tail. Ohhh, he was my absolutely favorite stuffed animal! By the time I grew up, Smoochie was so worn and well-loved that he was actually missing patches of fur.
Now that Maxwell is a little bit older — he’s 9-weeks by the way, tear!, and is starting to grab at things/kick around, I wanted to see how he’d respond to having a lovie of his own. At first he didn’t seem to be interested [see the above photos, he’s more interested in the ceiling fan, ha!] but now that a few days have passed since first introducing him to Bunny he is totally loving it. He holds on tight, winks at Bunny, and puts Bunny’s ears in his mouth. It’s so adorable, sooo completely adorable. I hope this is just the beginning of a lifelong friendship :)
Maxwell + his orange bunny, they’re the cutest pair around!
My nephew STILL has a little lovey from when he was born (he’s 4 now!). It’s a blue puppy that goes by the name Puppy. He’s missing all his stuffing and half an ear thanks to a battle with our dog Lily. But Gabe sleeps with Puppy (almost) every night. It’s cuuuuuuute.
@leslie zimmerman, And stinky as all get out. Unstoppables have become our best friend.
Only two of my guys had loveys but they all had a stuffy (animal) that they loved and made it real. They still carry their stuffies around and one has even kept up with his lovey!
My daughter (almost 2!) has a lovey monkey that she calls KiKi and it is her BEST FRIEND. I think it is the sweetest thing ever! She will wake up in the morning and I can hear her say “I love you KiKi”, just melts my heart.
Oh my goodness, Maxwell is SO adorable! I know you are soaking up every moment of that baby chub. :)
My little one (19 months) has a little dog stuffie her older brother gave her when she was about Maxwell’s age. She loves it and sleeps with it every night. So cute.
Um, I’m 27 and I STILL have BOTH of my loveys. I had a Puff-a-lump mouse named Mousie Lump {original, right?} and a blankie. They are still in my closet and the only reason I didn’t bring them to China with me is because I would be very upset if something happened to them!
I hope this Bunny becomes as special to the little one as ours were to us!
I am 23 and still have my lovey:)
My son had a giraffe, from the John Lennon/Carter collection (1999) & he use to suck the nose of the giraffe when he was teeny tiny. I still have it in a box of Precious Baby things.
Max is a doll!
