"The Linus Gene"

In the past two weeks Bray has shown a sudden interest in the blankets in his crib. He has one that is from Aunt Koryn & Uncle Jay that is wonderfully soft and fuzzy that he curls up on top of. And another one that is blue with sports on it and soft that he pulls up next to him to cuddle with while he sleeps (I can't remember where this one came from so if it was you, let me know :)). These two blankets have been in his crib with him for a few months now, but he's recently showed a great interest in them. Any time you get him from his crib, he grabs at least one if not both of them and carries them around the house with him - kind of like Linus from the Peanuts. He gets so excited about taking them with him when he gets up!

Ok, so here comes the confession... I too had a blankie when I was growing up that I slept with and carried around the house behind me, kind of like Linus. So apparently, the genealogy runs really deep between Bray and I because we share this same childhood gene. I'm going to call this gene "The Linus Gene." This gene is very unique and is well known throughout our family, in fact after talking to my dad last night, he agreed that Bray was definitely my son and that we must name the blankie. Confession #2: not only did I carry my blanket all around with me as a child, I also named him... his name was Bambi. So, its official, Brayden now has a Bambi of his own. I'll post some pictures soon to show you just how cute he is with his new pal, Bambi.
