My favorite things about babies...

I love babies. Particularly my babies, but all babies. These are some of my favorite things about them...

-After they fall asleep, when they continue the sucking motion. (See video of Truman above.)

-When they fall asleep in your arms.

-When they are sleeping and the startle reflex makes their arms and legs shoot out, with their hands open wide.

-The rooting reflex

-When they wake up eyes wide, find your eyes, smile, then go back to sleep.

-Their tiny feet.

-When you are holding them, and they start sucking on your cheek, chin, arm, or whatever soft skin they find.

-Their smiles

- When they grasp your finger with their little hand.

-Their soft soft skin.

-The gees and coos and throat gurgles

-Their peach fuzz hair

- Their chubby cheeks

-The laugh-cry... When they can't decide whether to laugh or cry.

-When they stop crying when you simply hold them.
