FFF- Animals

So I've been a little neglectful with this blog lately, although I have been posting pics daily over at "View From Here".

Today's FFF theme at "Me-Me & Monkey's" is animals... actual or stuffed.  Madalynn loves her stuffed animals.  Her, one true love though is Pooh bear.  A classic Pooh bear that I bought for her long before she came home.  What I love about the fact that she chose Pooh as her one true love is that I have always had a long standing love of all things Pooh.  I have a collection of about 5 Pooh watches, and many Pooh stuffed animals.  I swear I didn't push him on her, she attached to him all on her own.

This is the oldest picture I can find of Madalynn with Pooh... May 2008

... same day...

 

Pooh this week, definitely lost some of his "fluff", also if you will notice his left arm is long & skinny now.  This is because she holds that arm in her hand, and rubs his paw on her cheek, and under her nose.  Additionally his paw is thread bare as she also rub her fingers over it when she's tired.  It warms my heart that she has an object like this.  I've become hypervigilant  about keeping track of Pooh too, as he is essential at bedtime,and naptime.

In addition to Pooh, is Madalynn's best buddy Chatham!!!  These 2 are peas in a pod, and love to get each other riled up.  They both adore each other.  Additionally, it's my parents dog so I get all the benefits of Madalynn growing up with an animal in her life without all the work...

Meeting for the first time June 2009

I know this picture is out of focus, but I just love it b/c it shows their relationship so well...

Head on over to "Me-Me & Monkey's" for more FFF animals...
