You will have to forgive me for a moment. Actually, I've needed your pardon for many of these moments over the past 11 months. You see this little thing with her hand on my neck like I could just evaporate away at any moment needs rocked and cuddled. She is three days shy of 11 months. It's quiet up here and we are in our favorite spot (the glider) and she smells so sweet. I have so few of these moments left. In a short year she will be so different. Sure she will want to be cuddled but it will be shorter quicker bursts not this droopy, limp, ball of sweetness I am holding right now. It's mushy I know but I have loved this part of motherhood. The snugly part. The part where mommy and daddy are their whole world and they know nothing but love and comfort. For the day is coming, when that innocence starts to change with knowledge. I have things to do, but really this is what I need to do. I've done it with no regrets. I've held all three of my babies while they slept. Some would say I have Charlotte spoiled. But can you really spoil with love? She's this little for this moment and I'm going to savor it. Tomorrow she will be bigger and she will be one day closer to the day where she would rather play and be on the run than melt into mommy in sleepy abandon. So you can find me right here in my glider world. But don't bother me unless you have too because baby is sleeping!!! Shhhhh......
