Teddy

When Ashton was a day old, my friend Jess came to visit me in the hospital. Sadly, Ashton was in the NICU and they weren't allowing many visitors due to the H1N1 hysteria, so she didn't get to see him, but she brought him gifts including a little cuddly teddy bear (wearing teddy bear slippers) with a shirt that says "thank heaven for little boys". The bear stayed with Ashton to keep him company in the NICU when we couldn't be with him, and now he loves it so much it has to be with him at all times. It's generally wet from him sucking on or gumming it, but it's just so cute to see the comfort and happiness it brings him.
