"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things."
Robert Brault
When Abby was first born she loved being cuddled and held. She would sleep on my chest every night. When she started crawling and walking, she became the least cuddly baby I knew. She has this independent streak in her. Even at a year old, I can see that she knows what she wants and nothing else will do. She doesn't like to walk and hold hands or be held for any longer than 30 seconds. She wants to explore and be free.
I think I finally have my cuddly baby back! She's starting to give not just hugs but real, honest to goodness kisses! At first she would just hug me but then she started hugging random kids (which does lead to some awkward moments!). As long as you get down on her level she'll give just about anyone a hug! Case in point, here she is hugging a statue outside of church. You don't even have to be real to get some love from my cuddly kid! So cute! As if the hugs weren't cute enough, the kisses came soon after!
By far the best milestone! Nothing is better than hugs and smooches to help you through the day!
Aw...I love when you can have a cuddly baby back! It's so special...
ReplyDeleteYou are right about nothing being better than hugs and smooches! That is such a cute picture! It really is so nice when little ones start to do a real kiss on the cheek! I hope you are doing better!

She is cute,
ReplyDeleteMy grand daughter is 6 months old last week. She has started eating food and the next day got her first tooth.She rolls allover the floor and drags things everywhere.
There is nothing better when they hug you back. It's almost as if nothing else in the world exists except their little arms holding onto you, showing affection. I just love that. Like Abby, KLV is just starting to get back into her 'affection' grove. Thanks for the reminder Kasey, of just how lucky I am!
ReplyDeleteHey Kasey, just stopped by to say hello! I hope you are doing well!
