I just couldn't bear to put her down for her nap this afternoon. All I wanted to do was tickle her belly with my hair so I could hear her deep chuckle.
I buried my face in the side of her neck and breathed deeply. She smells like heaven. I made silly faces until she smiled and her deep dimple appeared.
I didn't want to be away from her. But, finally she won. I laid her down on her soft sheepskin. Immediately she buried one chubby fist in the wool, and the other between her rosebud lips. She wriggled until she found her perfect spot, eyes closed, already nearly asleep.
My Eliza. Pure delight.

Oh. I love dimples and chubby fists and all kinds of baby fat...what a sweet naptime story.
So sweet! Glad to see some more chubby baby thighs! Emma's rockin the chunky baby thighs pretty well :)
I did the same thing the other day. Emma was sleeping, but I just couldn't bare to put her down. She just felt so good snuggling in my arms and against my chest.
BTW - I saw on Lea's blog that your brother is coming in from Oki. I don't know if I ever told you, but my girls were born there! Marc and I were there for 3 years! Man, I miss it!!! I so loved Okinawa :)

If being addicted to you Baby is the worse thing that you it is a Great thing Indeed.
That's my story,and I'm sticking to it.
Many of God's blessings you way and come to think of it many hugs as well.
I know the feeling!!! She is so gorgeous, Andrea! My Leah is super chubby and I love staring at her rolls, and smelling her all the time. I love Eliza's headband - so cute, I need to get some of those for my little bald girl!
That is one of the sweetest posts. Your photography captures your feelings so well!
Isn't she though?! Loving the red.
What great pics of sweet Eliza. I love them. I really love the last shot of her chubby little leg.....I could never get enough of Miller and Madison either...I miss those days.
The side of her neck is my favorite place to bury my nose, and kiss. Sooo sweet! Juli had thighs of epic proportions, and Gabby looks to be fast on her trail. The pictures are great! I love Daniel's expression in the first one. What a great daddy.
such lovely photos - she is so sweet!!
Is is ok that even though this is my first visit to your blog I want to tell you that I could eat your baby's toes? Is it? She's a doll. I don't blame you for not wanting to put her down! ; )
so sweet. jim and i have had that conversation several times in the last month or so. hudson is always sooooo precious just as we need to put him down for the night- really, really precious and adorable, and acting just as in love with us as we are with him.
i think he knows it's one way to stay up later... and i don't care.

Oh yeah, there's just something about the smell of a baby...September can't get here soon enough for me. I can't wait to hold my sweet grandson!!!
What adorable chubby legs! Reminds me of pictures of myself as a little one. :)

Ok! I really NEED to kiss, cuddle, tickle, and love on those rolls :) She is too precious!
