snuggle...snuggle...

I was lying in bed last night, longing for Charlie to be snuggled up with me, and was thinking about how much of a cuddlebug he has become. I love it! I was working on Charlie's baby book before going to bed so I had been reminiscing of when he was itty bitty. It just made me remember how I used to hug him, but not too hard, because I was afraid I might hurt him. Then, it went to kissing him and making him giggle. I still do that just to hear that beautiful laugh. But, now he is loving back. It's not to the point that if you give him a hug, he'll hug back every time but sometimes you get lucky. He has figured out how to wrap his arms around you and lay his head on your shoulder, especially when he's tired. And, sometimes, out of the blue, he'll waller all over you and snuggle in.

The first night we were at Horizons, when I went to bed, it woke Charlie up so instead of trying to fight him to go back to sleep in his bed, I just got up and put him in the bed with me. He just laid on me so still. I was in heaven! I, unfortunately, can't go to sleep with him sprawled out on top of me so I laid him beside me in the bed. He was awake but drowsy. The things I remember most about that night was how he would pull himself over to me and put his forehead on my cheek. It was so sweet! He would roll and put his back to me just so we could be close. He would just lay there playing with my hands. As he was drifting off to sleep, he would reach over and touch my face. My sweet little boy...
