The Binky Princess

I just went to check on Maddy while she was napping and thought I'd better snap a picture of the "Binky Princess" for her baby book.

Our nighttime ritual has changed several times as Maddy has grown. Right now, we are adjusting to having the last bottle at bedtime rather than waking up at 10 or 11 to drink it. It's an adjustment, but we are hopeful that she'll get the hang of it soon! As you can see, a few of her bedtime/napping must haves are:
(1) Every pacifier we own--This tip came from Carley & is one of the best tips ever! Maddy would lose her binky and I would be up many, many times a night to retrieve it. Now she can reach over and grab one of many. See how the one in her mouth is upside down? She did that!
(2) Baby--Her Cabbage Patch named Bennie Laverne (Where do they get those names?)
(3) Prayer Bunny--Sweet little bunny that recites "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep".
But, the most special of all is her "Special Blanket" aka "Daddy Blanket". This sweet little blanket was given to MeMe/Pam (Jerod's mom)as a baby shower gift when she was pregnant with Jerod. Maddy loves to snuggle and this blanket is perfect since it is light and airy.
Well, the Binky Princess will be waking soon....
