Kissing babies

Found in an email sent to a friend on Sunday, October 16, 2005 10:43 PM:

[We're] still swaddling because he likes being all snug at night (of course he  doesn't realize he likes it, but really, he does :)  

. . . Sometimes I  catch myself just looking at him sleeping in my arms, realizing that I  should be sleeping, too, or that he should be getting used to sleeping  in his crib.  Then I remember that he's my little boy, and all too soon he'll be too big for that, so I gaze at him for another half hour or so.   

I remember my friends handing the book ["Happiest Baby on the Block"] to me and saying "required  reading."  Just tonight Trev used the essess with our fussy boy (on his  side, jiggled, binked--went right out).  He came down stairs and said  "huh, it still works."  Though we'd forgotten about the "recipe" for a  while.  And every now and again when Jacks is past his limit we'll  remember and try and there it works.   

I find kissing babies very  satisfying.
