Larger than life!

We've had giraffes as the theme to our nursery ever since being preggo with DD. After she passed, we never had the heart to change it, so our giraffe collection has continued to grow. When N was born, we received this big giraffe stuffed-animal as a 'welcome-to-the-world' gift. It's been in the corner for a while and A found it today! Oh, it was love at first sight. He just played and played and played and I loved every moment.

I like the one of him on top of it - I like the different patterns together.
