pulling blanket/bib/burp cloth over the face?

Our 5 month-old son always manages to fall asleep with a cloth or bib pulled over his face. I've watched him deliberately do it, so I know it's not a fluke. I assume it's a comfort thing (making things cozy, like inside the womb), but wondering if this is "normal." Does anyone else see this with their babies?

    hannie occassionally does this, especially if it is naptime and the sun is hitting her bedroom window.  she likes it nice and dark when sleeping.

    My son does this too.  He has to have either his lovey or a burp cloth to fall asleep.  He pulls it over his face and sometimes rubs it on his face.  I let him fall asleep with it and then take it out of the crib once his is out.

    DD doesn't do this yet but I think that she will since she pretty much passes out when her bear's butt is rubbed on her face - see below (she's so cute!)  I think this will be her lovie.

    Ryder does this all the time.  We have to swaddle him up tight or else we'll constantly be finding him with his blanket over his head!

    T does this all the time.  I think it is a comfort thing.  At night when go to sooth him, we give his paci and put our hand on his forehead.  Its very calming for him, so he also tends to pull blankets and what not over too.
