This is a picture of Emily when she was five days old with the teddy bear that my brother gave her when she was born. Notice how clean and shiny his fur is.
Here is what "Bear" looks like today. No longer clean and shiny. He has certainly been well loved and is Emily's favorite toy.
When she was one year old, her favorites were Bear, Duckie and Lambie. Then at some point it became all about the bear. Duckie and Lambie are in a toy box in her room with some other stuffed animals and haven't seen the light of day in several years.
She literally used to take him everywhere she went.
He has celebrated every Christmas with her.
And has been on every car trip.

He was with us when we were getting ready to go the hospital to have Noah.
He's just like another member of our family.

Here he is with Papa. Emily must of taken this picture herself.
And in Charlotte with Uncle Mike.
With Aunt Moni.
He's even been on the Mississippi River.
He's been dressed up in all kinds of crazy outfits.
He was with us when Emily had to be hospitalized for a week.
Even Noah likes to play with him.
I'm sure he'll be a part of her life for many years to come.

I did not comment before, but that bear is so sweet. I have a doll that I loved all of the hair and eyelashes off. My mom took her to a doll doctor several years ago and had her fixed up and bought her new clothes and she now has a place of honor in my collections. I know how it feels for Emily to love that bear. Bear is more than a toy -- he is her friend.
That is so cute. Kudos to you for organizing those pictures.
