Im a Giant Saltlick

Simon is just so fun lately. He is a very happy baby and his siblings love to play with him and make him laugh, which is not too hard to do. It is also pretty rewarding how he loves his mom (and dad) so much. But let's face it. It isn't so much as love but as need from their mom right now that makes a babe want his mom. Whenever he is tired or hungry he wants me. That's how it has always been. But lately when I hold him he has started just smashing and rubbing his face all over me....my chest or shoulder or arm. We wants everything in his mouth and will pull my fingers, wrists, knuckles, bicep, face into his mouth to taste.

That is why I have decided that I am just one big Saltlick to Sweet Simon.

What, no new photo? I wish we could meet Simon sometime before he heads off to college.

I do love that baby smell- maybe they love our mommy smell. We are always putting our mouths on them (kisses) and they do the same thing to us- love that!

Cameron hasn't gotten to that point yet, where he goes crazy looking for food. He still just falls asleep on me with a mouth full of milk that ends up running down my side.

And he still smells so good, too. I don't even really mind his poopy diapers. They're not NEARLY as bad as Sam's.

I love their smell so much I just want to eat them up. I think they know our smell too. I think your right, Emily.

I also love when they are drunk- with-pleasure and the milk runs down their check. I think when they are this tiny, it is so easy to be a perfect mom. Darn, if it only stayed this way!
