There are a few things I miss about the newborn stage. I miss the tiny preciousness of a newborn babe; the way they would sleep so deep no matter where we were; but most of all I miss the baby cuddles. My boys don't cuddle with me anymore- even when they are upset or getting tired. Now they mostly pull my hair, grab at my teeth or play a pretend drum on my arms.



I wish I had cuddled them more when they were so little and still. That's why last night was so special to me. I woke my little boy up from a nap, sat on the couch and he laid his head on my chest and cuddled. I thought the moment would be over soon, but he stayed there for so long we even got a picture. I was so in love with the moment. I even sat and fed him his bottle while he was cradled in my arms. Something I haven't done since they were 3 months old. It may be months before I get another cuddle in, but I'm still so grateful for that brief moment I had.
