Dear Baby,

You are so beautiful. I especially love that you hold my hand while nursing. I am so sleepy, but I can’t stop staring at you. I love holding your little fingers in mine while you drink; tiny warm fingers holding my index finger oh so tight. Your whole hand wraps around a single joint of a single finger. You’re clammy from holding me so tight for so long. Your Mommy is such a mooshbucket.

I will be so sad when you’re 30 and I don’t get cuddles from you anymore. I lay here hoping my mom knows I love her even if our cuddling days have passed, and planning to give her a giant hug as soon as I see her next. Right now I don’t want to be sad that you’ll stop cuddling me one day, though. I am just going to keep staring at your sweet face as you nibble, and enjoying the feel of you holding my hand. Thank you for being so sweet.

Love,
Your friendly provider of milkies and warm fingers
