If so I wonder if that time you spent with him as an infant had anything to do with him being a snuggler. They probably all are, though!

I know I was sent or drawn here for a purpose. I don't know it yet, but I cannot wait to go on the journey of finding it out! :) I made the same choice and I am so happy I did! Life goes by so quickly! Every moment is extremely important so I'm trying to live appreciating every second.

(he'll be a yr in May) With all the others I was so set on regaining my freedom (as if that could ever happen when yu're a mom!!) and i spent os much time trying to make them "good babies". you know, worrying about getting them to eat solids and sleep "right" as soon as possible. i realized when I had Ven that I neede to change. so I spent SO much time with him. not trying to change him, or push him to grow, or fit into my old clothes or anything else... just trying to get to know how. What a change! our bond is so close. my memories are so good. and my feelings about motherhood and my children in better are much more loving. basically i stopped viewing motherhood and babyhood as one big chore, and i started living in the moment and enjoying it all. <br><br>I can't believe ho much happier a person I am now. (and how little time I have! lol)<br><br>though I admit, I struggle big time with sleep. I need more. I wish I covince Ven of that! but so far he doesn't sleep longer than 2-3 hrs at a time TOPS. oh well.... it's coming... soon I hope :)<br><br>thnak you for posting this!!Hennyhttp://www.hennypenne.lafianzoo.comnoreply@blogger.com
