Linus in the flesh!

Our Cooper took to sucking his thumb when he was about 2 months old. He only sucks it when he has his "blankie". He will shift the blanket around, following the edges until he finds the monogram in one corner. Then he settles in...right thumb in his mouth and the left hand tapping and rubbing the monogrammed object. Luckily, he will usually work this magic with any blanket in the waffle weave material so we have about 8 that take their turn. However, lately he has a first choice. "The blue one, with the ball and the two holes in it" is his request. When he is tired, sad, has a boo-boo or is in deep thought, he can be found wandering around dragging this prized possession. It really is so darn cute and it has earned him the nickname Linus. I just want to eat him up!
