Goldbug

During the aforementioned trip to Wisconsin, Adelaide charmed one of our dear friends into letting her borrow a funny new toy for a few months. The toy, on loan while our friend works on her own baby-related project, is a charming, multi-colored vibrating spider whose plush face is frozen in a perpetual look of surprise. We have dubbed the creature “Goldbug,” in honor of the benefactor (and to help us remind ourselves that the toy is a loaner). Goldbug has quickly discovered his place in our family by helping Adelaide to show the world some of her latest hand-eye coordination tricks; namely, she grasps Goldbug by the legs in her tiny hands and brilliantly shoves his head, eyes, or appendages into her mouth.

I thrilled to hear that "Goldbug" has not only been given a VERY snazzy name, but that it has found it's way into Adelaide's heart (as well as mouth). It's like knowing a little bit of me is there with you!
