Attached to Mr. Bear

At my California baby shower Enzo was given a soft, precious stuffed bear. I was so excited and could not wait for our little guy to cuddle and carry him around. Sadly, the first year of Enzo's life he had no interest in the bear. Bear slept every night in Enzo's crib with him, but Enzo would rarely ever hug him or touch him. I was so sad for the bear and thought what kind of child do I have. Instead of choosing bear to snuggle with, Enzo would choose his hammer or a ball. Well recently Enzo has become very and I mean VERY attached to his bear. (Yippy) I thought that he was never going to be attached to anything since he didn't keep a binky for long, could care less when we switched him from bottles to sipper cups  & doesn't have a blanket that he has to have, but bear, BEAR goes with us everywhere. Enzo even tried to take bear into the bath the other night. Instead bear just watched from the counter.  Bear is super soft, so it's a great snuggling buddy for Enzo. In the morning Enzo will toss bear over the side of his crib (helping him escape), but will then realize that bear can't get back in the crib without help, so Enzo will start crying and trying to grab bear back through the crib bars. Sadly he can never get bear back and has to wait for Mom or Dad to rescue them both from the bedroom.  Enjoy some pictures of Enzo & Bear.
