Mama's Girl

Reese is starting to act like she loves us a little bit- finally! She has never been a cuddly, snuggly baby. I mean, we know she likes us but she wouldn't lean into us or let us rock her before she went to sleep or hug her tight. She likes other people, which is definitely a good thing. But now she will be sitting on the floor, look up to me and raise her arms because she wants me to hold her. Spence and I always kiss after we say prayers (his parents always did it, and we just kind of naturally started doing it to.) The other night after family prayers we kissed and Reese tilted her head up to me because she wanted one too. Then she did it to Spence. We have gotten her to give kisses before but that was the first time she wanted to. She has a fever and a cold right now and last night she laid her head on my shoulder and let me rock her for awhile. She loves my Mom and Dad, but now when they are holding her if she is done she will lean toward me so I'll take her. I don't want her to become overly attached to me- separation is healthy. But it is nice that she is starting to show that she loves us because we love her so much.

so sweet, great thoughts Amy. my favorite part of the day is when I put Grace to bed at night and she will lay her head on my shoulder and let me rock her for just a little bit before she sits up and leans for her crib. Reese is a doll and that picture of you two is adorable!

We have an "non-affectionate" child as well. I get what you mean. Of course he loves us and prefers us, but he isn't always up for snuggling and rocking. But there are moments here and there that he tells us that he does, so its all worth it. Jack is also sick right now with fever and cold. I think he may even have croup. I have taken advantage of it too, and snuggled his face off. Babies are great. And so are Reese's cheeks.
