I’d forgotten how marvelously soft, warm and fuzzy a newborn’s head feels, tucked under the curve of your neck and chin as she snuggles into your chest in a sling.

I’ll be the first: Aaaaaaaawww!
Savor that, Unrelaxed! I seem to see these gorgeous babies everywhere- even two year olds, and I’m overcome with the feeling of just plain whooosheee ga-ga-ness. Enjoy every moment. Look how fast the time has flown by with the little dudes. It is so precious. I was a totla baby wear-er as well. Sending warm wishes and good thoughts to your little quad!
It really is one of the best things ever, isn’t it? That and the weight of an older child, draped over your lap and chest, with his or her nestled into your shoulder …
…and inhaling the milk-fed smell! Nothing like it in the wide world.
Hi all – I did have a gooey moment, didn’t I? They’re happening on an hourly basis, and yes, this time around I’m definitely savoring them. further milk fed smell, the slightly curdled variety attached to your shoulder because you forgot to grab a muslin before winding is just as common. Checking my generally black or dark clothes for milkstains is just as much a part of my going-to-work routine as checking I’ve got my keys…
This post immediately brought back memories of a rocking chair, a small child and waking up with a stiff neck after falling asleep while admiring a little one during middle of the night feedings…
Oh, you made me cry! I wish I lived closer so I could borrow your baby and snuggle her head.
I hope that isn’t creepy ;-)
So do I! Can I hold her next?!
Out of the entire album, which I love, Magic is still my favorite… Perfect choice for the lake movie. Oh, and I through all little of the National in too.
Awwww. Made me want to borrow a baby for an hour or two.
