Did you have blankets or stuffed animals that you were attached to as a child? I had a stuffed rabbit that I carried around with me everywhere. I remember even as a teenager I kept it on a shelf in my closet, because I couldn't bear to part with it.
I love watching my 16-month-old son snuggle with his new lovey, the Happy Monkey Security Blanket from Li'l Inspirations.
Made from minky and satin, it's perfect to lay his head against, while resting in his crib. It's so soft, I even catch myself sometimes rubbing it up against my face. It must be so comforting for him.
The blanket measures 23" x 20", making it larger than similar products you can find in stores - that seem to be the size of a folded handkerchief.
The security blanket can also be personalized with the child's first name, making it such a darling baby shower gift.
