Blankie Girl

Neil has the cutest way of describing the girls when they really like something =) i.e. "Are you my banana girl?" Well, Eden is 100% a blankie girl! She just loves having a blankie around but fortunately we've taught her not to be attached to just one... any blankie will do! She does especially like this green one that was given to Claire at a baby shower.

We just love our blankie girl!
