Eskimo Kisses

Taylor has learned to give Eskimo kisses. This afternoon after her very short nap of 20 minutes I rocked her a while to try and get her back to sleep. She was so sweet and cuddly, but no more nappy nap. As I was holding her she started giving me kisses. Her kisses consist of opening her mouth and leaning forward toward you for you to kiss her on the lips. It is so cute. Well, I decided to give her Eskimo kisses by rubbing my nose back and forth across hers. My parents used to do that with me when I was little and I did it with her when she was first born but it has been a while. Well, wouldn't you know, she started shaking her head back and forth like she was trying to "kiss" me back. It was the cutest thing. Everytime I would E-kiss her she would giggle and then E-kiss me back. Little things like this are the things that I love about my "job" as a mommy. I may not get paid in your normal terms, but I get paid in hugs and kisses and that is the best kind of payment.

I remember when my Mom and Dad used to give me Eskimo Kisses too. Now Jordan and I exchange Eskimo Kisses and Butterfly Kisses. Oh, how I love being her Mommy. She is my snuggle-bunny!

I know you must "eat her up" with love!! I see she is starting to stand...YEAH!
