My wife was just visiting our gramdbaby (first) away from home and I had to stay here. Didn't get to go. Hopefully soon. Anyway... my first question to her was "Did you get to nibble on that little heal yet?" She said no. I think she may have afterwards though.
Anybody out there but me love baby feet? They are soooo cute and soft. Something about'em.
Lov'em!
Just tossing that out there. I also like the smell of puppy breath.
Another time then..
I love babies! Their feet, hands, faces... I could just eat 'em up. I'm only 22 years old myself, and a long way from having any of my own, but I am *so* looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about babies! I also like the smell of puppy breath - luckily for me, we happen to have some puppies right now - 7 week old Shih Tzu's. Our mama dog had 10 of them, poor thing! Would you like one? We live near Tulsa and you are coming to Tulsa for the car show this weekend. We have 5 boys left (and a little female recuperating from hernia surgery). They are pretty cute!
ReplyDeleteIf I came home with a puppy... it would not go well!
DeleteAlso... away too much to take care of a new little one at home.
I understand - they are a lot of work and take a lot of attention. Just thought I'd offer just in case. :-)
DeleteSpeaking of babies - we are foster parents - the twins we had with us at the car show are our foster kids (but feel like ours). I just found out tonight we will be getting a newborn to care for in a few days. Looking forward to having a little one to snuggle again!
DeleteMy dream is to have CHILDREN and it always has been. My heart was created to love and I PRAY that one day I am blessed in some way with a child. Sadly, if I physically can not have kids due to my injuries, I pray another way works out. Unfortunately, I am told no adoptions for people with closed head injuries. Need to walk first, get down the aisle and then kids! I love babies...I am sure it will be challenging and rewarding. I have a MILLION HUGS AND LOVE for THEM!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the most challenging aspect of being a parent for you???
Te most challenging part of being a parent is living through the time period which inevitably comes when your children think you are embarrassing to be sen with.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine helped me realize just today that it happens to everyone with each of their kiddo's. he god news is that they do eventually come around!
Love'em and remember that they love you too. hat's the most challenging part.
And got to remember not to call them by personal nicknames in public. I've called my daughter, Tammie, "Sweet Pea," since she was five hours old. She told me when she was 15 not to call her that in public anymore, at home is okay. At her soccer games, definately not okay!
DeleteBecause of having Hydrocephalus and what I found out I've chosen that I can be the adopted Auntie and just spoil the kids if I don't adopt, but have heard about surgeries could possibly be needed if I had kids & the thought does scare me I won't lie. Even though I would have loved the thought of kids without worrying about serious health risks so if I just end up being the Aunt that spoils the kids I'm fine with that too. =)
ReplyDeleteAdoption is a win, win, win situation. I just did a film called "October Baby" tat deals with many issues and adoption is one of them. When the smoke clears there is no question about whether the adopted child was wanted or not. That seems to be a question brought up because they were given up by someone (a wonderful alternative to the other alternative in my opinion) and wanted desperately by their adoptive parents.
ReplyDeleteOn that I'd like to say that I applaud those who chose to put their babies up for adoption rather than the other choice. It's a noble, brave and very difficult thing to do but they are fulfilling the dreams and hopes of others when they do.
If you have the opportunity and means to adopt, please consider it carefully. Children are a lifetime commitment and worth every second of it! But know what you are getting into.
It doesn't necessarily require a healthy parent to raise a healthy child... but I have to believe that it helps. Stay healthy and let a child know you want them.
