A Lovey

Everyone keeps asking me if Hailey has a "lovey," or a favorite toy, yet. And I'm thinking she's too young to really be attached to something, since she can't even hold on to anything but my finger or my hair... the latter being a new development that has only prompted me to ALWAYS have a ponytail holder near by.
Anyways, we were given a number of potential loveys that are just adorable, and would be even more adorable being toted around, getting filthy and ending up with only one eyeball....*sigh*..... but I get the feeling that Hailey's lovey will end up being something completely bizarre...
You see, we have started Hailey on the Baby Einstein movies. And in Baby Mozart, there are a variety of images, colors and animals displayed with classical music playing along with them. There are elephant puppets and lights... there is a shiny top that spins around.... but the ONLY thing that gets Hailey's feet kicking and her eyes wide is three different color gels pouring from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen. And I flash forward three or four years and see the two of us in the shampoo aisle in Target, with her throwing a fit because she can't have a bottle of Head & Shoulders.
Whatever it is, I've been told to be smart and whatever it is she falls in love with, to buy in bulk in case of it gets lost, chewed or left behind on an airplane. In the meantime, I will continue to shove the array of stuffed animals in her face, in hopes one will stick.
