Up until this point, Anna has not had a "lovey" that she has become particularly attached to. We haven't pushed it, we figured when she was interested in something she would let us know.
When the weather turned colder a few weeks ago, I began wrapping Anna in a blanket when I would bring her out to the car and would nestle it around her in her carseat. This went on for a few days and soon Anna was pulling the blanket up to her face and cuddling it, always wanting it on her while she was the car. By the time we returned home from our Thanksgiving journey she was already calling it "bankie".
"Bankie" is now accompanying Anna to her naps and to bed at night. Today, when she woke up from her afternoon nap, "bankie" had to come with us downstairs. She needed a few more minutes to cuddle with it while she drank her milk.
I don't know if "bankie" is here to stay, or if this is a passing love affair, but for the time being Anna is finding comfort in this gorgeous soft blanket that she received as a gift when she was born.
