Chewies? Taggies? Strange!

My mom told me that the Gosselin children from the well known TV show Jon & Kate Plus 8 have "Chewies" - these would be their little security blankets that they carry around, and often chew on. Hence the name. Liliana would fit right in with the Gosselin's. Here is one of the first times she started this, although she doesn't chew on it - she just stuffs it in her mouth.

Her latest thing is to put 1 of 3 objects in her mouth and then continue on with playing. It could be putting her paci in backwards, her burpcloth, or a specific little triangle toy. Here she is with all three in hand! Too bad they don't all fit in her mouth at once, she'd be so happy!

And here she is with her favorite little triangle while trying to get Fizzle. By the time she's done playing with her triangle - it needs to be wrung out from all her drool!

I told my sister that I was thinking of making a little blanket that Liliana could have all the time, instead of whatever burpcloth we are using at the moment. She mentioned Taggies - we have a bib and a toy by this company. Genious!!! I went online and ordered up a Taggies blankie for my Lili! (It was a bit more than I should have spent on something like this, but...it's cute, it's a blanket - of which we all know my fetish with blankets - it's personalized, and I had some birthday money to put towards it!)

So, it came yesterday. Of course I had to wash it and so I got to give it to her today - the first few "chews" were a bit of a surprise to her and warranted a few grimaces and shakes. She finally warmed up to it though.

The Taggies Blankie

So now - do I call these things Chewies, Taggies...or what? It is very strange to walk around the corner and see my daughter with a blanket hanging out of her mouth - but also the cutest thing ever!!!

She dropped it from her mouth and was so happy it just covered her up!
