Day 32

This afternoon we took a stroll- it was so muggy, we just had to get out of the house! You have been quite objected to having your photograph taken lately, so this one was shot from my hip after you told me to “Stop it mum!”. I love how I completely missed focus (and framing) on what I had intended- your sweet face looking for Dad, (he had run home to get Little Bird to bring on our walk) and instead captured your little hands waiting in anticipation.

I love your gentile hands! I love how you touch my face to wake me when I am sleeping in the mornings, give me a kiss and wave as you dash upstairs to have breakfast with Nana and Poppa. I love when we are walking and your little hand reaches up and takes mine. I love how sometimes when we are sleeping, you roll into me and hold my face in your two beautiful hands.

Yes, your hands are sweet, and I love to kiss them. It saddens me to think that our beautiful snuggles and cuddles and kisses will faze out as you get older- so I will relish in your little hands now, while they are still mine to hold.

I’m loving all your photos, but this one is really beautiful. Sometimes it’s the ones that you haven’t set up perfectly that end up looking the best. Sweet words as well, I worry about the cuddles and kisses drying up too!

  Thanks Rachael, I agree.
  
  I know it will be a sad day! I will miss my snuggle-pot.
