Lately I've been really stopping to cherish each moment with my kids. Peyton and Laila like to snuggle a little before they go to sleep, but they really like to go to sleep on their own. Mika, however, will get really fidgety before she goes to sleep and will calm down immediately when I hold her, falling fast asleep on my chest. So she has been falling asleep on me more and more this past week - and I love it! I could hold her like that forever!!! I know I should put her in her bed, but I just love holding her so much. Knowing that she is my last baby makes it worse. I think I have messaged Jared every day over the past week telling him how much I love holding our sleeping babies. And I do.... I just sit there with a huge smile on my face and kiss all over their heads, smell their baby smells, and love having them so close to me. It is one of the best gifts God gives parents - I pray that all of you who are parents take time to hold your babies while they sleep today. And for those of you who aren't parents yet, I pray that you will get your chance to hold your sleeping baby soon.

that is still my favorite time, thats why I like the little ones to spend thenight wiht me, now when they are older its still a special time of laying in bed talking:)))
Aww that is a very sweet blog, and I will take time today to love on my babies while they are napping..
You don't ever stop Jenn....I used to think I should lay my baby down and go clean or do some other unfinished chore...but I realized pretty quickly that they grow up fast and won't always want you to hold them as they sleep....now, you can always go in after their asleep and hold them and then pretend they wanted you to!! LOL....they won't wake up! But, seriously....you are smart to treasure these moments! And besides that...Mika is the BEST snuggler!!
