Taggie Blankets Are Fun

We have received so much love from our family and friends with an outpouring of encouragement, support, and baby gifts. Because it has been so long since we've had babies, I didn't realize how cool baby stuff is these days. As in, Ming's new stroller has speakers to accomodate and iPod. How cool is that? It practically makes you want to have a baby just to get a new stroller! One unique baby gift we recently received is a fleece Taggie Blanket. Cousin Sharon, who has also adopted from China, who has so faithfully followed our journey to China and back, and has supported us from the early days of waiting to be matched with a baby in our adoption process, was the giver of this lovely little blanket. Taggie Blankets were developed by an early childhood educator who also happens to be a mother of three. The blanket is a soft fleece and is designed with assorted ribbons sewn around the edges with different colors, sizes, and textures. Ming takes turn with them by putting them in her mouth, poking her fingers through the holes of the loop, and rubbing the edges of the ribbons. This snuggly little blanket is a real winner, and I suspect that Ming will drag it with her wherever she goes in the days ahead. Thanks Sharon!
