Gracie and Kitty Kitty
Gracie is a cuddler. Have I ever told you that? Well, she is. She will root down into your neck as far as you will let her and then, once she’s warm and cozy in there, she’ll close her eyes and sigh a sweet, satisfied, milk-scented sigh. And that’s where she’ll stay until you make her come out. She likes to hold onto things, too. If she’s laying down, you can put your hand on her belly and instinctively, she’ll wrap both arms around your arm and hold on for dear life. She’s just a little cuddle bug.
One night Gracie was chilling in her swing and she seemed a bit lonely. So, I grabbed one of her stuffed dolls and laid it in there with her.
And this was how Kitty Kitty came into our lives.
Immediately, Gracie wrapped both arms around Kitty Kitty and nuzzled down into her neck where she promptly fell asleep.
And when she woke from her nap, Gracie continued to hold on to Kitty Kitty for dear life while also chewing on her soft little ears. Within a matter of hours, Gracie and Kitty Kitty became inseparable.
It is pretty much the cutest thing in the entire world. Gracie just hugs and hugs and hugs on Kitty Kitty. And then she gnaws and gnaws and gnaws on Kitty Kitty. And then she snuggles with her until they both fall asleep. It’s basically a match made in the most adorable heaven ever.
It also has freed up a lot of time for Chris and me. Without a baby roosting in our necks 24 hours a day, we’re not sure what to do with ourselves…

I foresee tea parties between Mr. Bear and Kitty Kitty. 🙂
Rebecca @ The Reluctant Housewife
That’s adorable! I’ve been trying to find “the” stuffed animal for Zoe to bond with and want everywhere that she goes, but she doesn’t seem to interested in any of them yet. It’s a bummer, because babies and their stuffed animals are the cutest things ever.
Rachel @ Lines across my face
Aw sooo precious. I love it when babies have a favorite stuffed animal. My son picked his favorite little monkey at a young age but my 6 month old girl hasn’t really attached to one yet 🙁 Kitty Kitty is also such a cute little thing.
Betty
Oh my goodness. She is so cute, and I love kitty kitty, so cute!
Julia
More importantly, do you have a back-up KittyKitty that you can pull the ole “Mr. Bear switcharoo” with to clean!?
Jessica
So cute! She has some expensive taste in cuddle friends. Those blabla dolls are pricey.
Judy
I think this is the first time I could see the look of Bean in Gracie’s face. Yep, they are siblings. It looks like you better have a back-up KittyKitty.
Sarah @TheExPat Bride
Chris is the best at posing with babies!
And you are super lucky Gracie is a cuddler, I’m a preschool teacher and every once and a while you just want a good hug from ’em. But not many are into that anymore at 5 years old. I’m cramping their style lol.

Mr. Bear and Kitty Kitty should hang out! They have a lot in common. And she is such a little lovebug! I just want to hug her.

Jen @ Caved In
Oh I miss the snuggling days and Sullivan is only 6 months old. It was over as soon as he realized he could roll. He was like “peace out, mom. I’ve got better things to do”. sigh…
Tessa

Megan
The second picture? SO cute!
Jenna
Too sweet! Our little one is a week younger than Gracie. He has a frog and he squeezes it tight and sucks on its mouth. We put a binky on one of his web feet for a homemade version of a wubbanub! Can’t do without it!
Kat @ Living Like the Kings
Aw man I miss Peanut snuggling in my neck so much right now! I loved those moments. now it’s all go-go-go for her. The only time I get snuggles is at night when she’s ready to go to bed. Then I hold on for dear life.
Meggie
That’s adorable! Now the goal will be to never misplace or lose Kitty Kitty 🙂
