Meet Baby

'Baby' is Paige's oldest and closest friend, he has gone everywhere with her since she was born.

A gift from her cousins, 'Baby', or 'Mr. Bear' as he was named by me long before she could talk, is a yellow bear's head, attached to to a blanket. Lined with that silky material often found on blankets, she runs her fingers on it to sooth her self, and thinks he's a real person, and most recently - her son.

In the early days, baby remained in the crib. Once she was more mobile, he was drug behind her everywhere. In his 4 years he's been dipped in syrup, left in Target carts, forgotten at a grandparents, stepped on, dropped in a puddle, thrown up on, used to clean things by Paige and much more.

I'd like to mark Baby's journey this far in photos, starting with his first year together with Paige. You will see the love got stronger over the years as he became less of a fluffy toy and more like a dirty yellow-ish door mat of sorts.

Watch for the next installment Baby's Second Year
