No longer a baby....now a little boy

The other day Henry woke up from his nap early and just needed to be cuddled, which of course I was delight to do. Henry and I laid down on my bed and just cuddled like the good old days. Henry is the biggest cuddle bug...but as he has gotten bigger the more and more he is growing out of it to his mothers protest. As we are cuddling Henry falls back asleep and I start to drift off. I rest my head close to his and and don't smell my sweet baby smell...but a boy smell. The mix of running out side, grass, pool water, diaper, wrestling, dirt mixed, sweaty feet in sandles smell. When did this happen?




I guess that I will have to treasure bath time each night when I can give him the baby fresh scent that I so dearly love!

it happens to us all! Just wait untill he is to big to give you unconditional kisses! That is a sad day. But those bath times are awsome!

Oh, how sad........but how sweet that he still wants to cuddle with mommy.

I understand completely!!! I hardly hold Lucas at all anymore, and he DEFINITELY does not smell like my baby. :( But he sure is a lot of fun.

I can't wait to see you and Henry! (And Troy this weekend!)
