His first Christmas he got 2 more Wiffers. I rotated them out for a long time, and usually before trading I'd sleep with the one I was going to give to him so it would have my 'scent'. He's 4 now and has all three of them in his room. Sometimes he sleeps with all 3, but usually just one. They are all still in very good condition.

It appears my girls have each attached themselves to the blanket animals they received as gifts. They are both made by a company called Bunnies By The Bay. Here is Lydia's bunny:

and Madelyn's Froggy:

Lydia likes to rub the bunny fur while Madelyn prefers to hold onto the blanket part. I haven't found a store near us that sells them, but there is one where my parent's live so I think these will be on their Birthday or Christmas with lists this year.

We have a store here that carries these..let me know if you need one!

DD won't let me take a picture of lovey, I'll have to get it when she's asleep. Its a Carter's Child of mine plush giraffe with a rattle inside. He has blue hooves and dots on his yellow body.
We recently had a lost lovey scare. Left him at the Dr. office.

I'm fortunate that both my kids latched on to blankies..I don't know how I will replace DD's cause her's was made by my grandmother's friend who is in ill health now, but DS's was made by my best friend who can make a duplicate if needed..

That and Bitty Baby Blankies, but I have 2 of those for him so we are ok..

I have been desperatly looking for a "replacement" for my daughter's lovey. It's a "Peopl'e Pals" white tiger, aka "Kitty" that I haven't been able to find anywhere. She won't sleep without it. My son's lovey is a blanket from Carters that he won't sleep or go out of the house without. It might still be at Carters but I wouldn't mind getting a used one.

My LO loves her lovey bear by Just One Year. I have looked everywhere but can't seem to find another one. If you have one please let me know

I will take a pic of him and be back to update

This is DD's lovey (not the actual one of course) [URL="http://item.express.ebay.com/Toys-Hobbies_Baby-Toys__CHILD-OF-MINE-Giraffe-Rattle-Plush-Crib-Toy-Carters_W0QQitemZ170147487638QQihZ007QQddnZToysQ20 Q26Q20HobbiesQQadnZBabyQ20ToysQQptdiZ878QQddiZ1290 QQcmdZExpressItem[/URL]
It's discontinued apparently and very hard to find. My sister got it for $6 last Christmas and now I can't find it for cheaper than $18. We've had one lost lovey scare and I can't bear another one, but I'm not sure I can make myself pay 3x what it's worth

Your pic isn't showing, this sounds familiar to a giraffe we have but I cant take a pic for you cause ds is sleeping and it is in his room (somewhere

) if you can get your pic to show I'll tell you if it is the same

I know this is a long shot, but I had to post this. My dd decided to love the most expensive blanket we have. My G-ma got this for her, and I looked around for a second/replacement and found out they cost $60! AAHH! She won't sleep with any other blanket.

This is a Little Giraffe Chenille Blanket Original in white. I'm not sure if she's like another color since I haven't tried one, but I would assume so. White was not the best choice. At 11 months it's already turning gray.

Sorry about the huge pic

If anyone knows where I can get one cheap, please let me know. Thanks!
