Just stop right there...

...and step away from the blankie.

That's right. Our favorite little serial monogomist (see previous loves Birdy and Mr. Caterpillar) has moved on -- and this time it's serious.

When we reach down to pick Zoe up out of her crib in the morning, she makes a mad dash for Blankie and hugs him tight to her face lest he be left behind.

Blankie gets lots of hugs and snuggles and kisses -- and he goes everywhere with Zoe, getting dragged along as she crawls around the condo.

On the plus side, we don't have to Swiffer much anymore.
