Brownie the dog is my oldest son’s favorite stuffed animal. Brownie was a gift from my husband’s Aunt a few years ago. Back then he was played with, but around age two Brownie got his name with the help of Grandpa, and then he became essential at bedtime. Brownie is a master traveler, going camping with us, and spending the night at Grandma’s on occasion. Ethan wanted to do a session with Brownie, and I was happy to oblige. Anything that gets my kids in front of the camera I’m all for. And what a great way to document one of his favorite things. The blanket he is snuggling with has been a favorite since he was a baby. Coincidentally, my Aunt knitted “her” and gave that to Ethan before he was born. It is his absolute most favorite thing ever and has gone on every. single. trip. ever. However Brownie is gaining in popularity but GB, our nickname for “green blanket”, is his go to lovey when he needs some consoling. Adam also loves Brownie and wanted to have some pictures with him too. And of course I talked them both into some pictures alone.

And here is an oldie but goodie snapshot of GB in her youth and Ethan at just a year old.
