can't live without it

From a very early age Avery has taken to my old baby blanket. It is her comfort, her joy, her most prized possession. She calls it her "bauket," formerly called "baukie."

When it all began. Avery is 5 months here.

Avery at 16 months. She still can't go to bed without it.

Part of the way she gets comfort from the blanket is by biting it. Because of this and the fact that it is 25 years old, the blanket has suffered a lot of tears. Five patches have already been lovingly sewn.
