QOTD 2/15

Bedtime, and not for the reason you think. I love reading to him and rocking him to sleep.

Reading books before bed time.she is so sweet and funny during these 15 mins. A close second is weekend nap times. She'll usually cuddle and fall asleep in my arms. We don't do this at bedtime so I eat up every second of it.

Another one for bedtime. Same as jnetx , daddy does her bath while I sort the kitchen. After her bath she gets her jammies on in my room and I read her books. It's a sweet and cuddly 1/2 hour together and I eat up every moment of it. Also we rock on the chair in her room sometimes (if she lets me) and I sing to her just before putting her down.

Oh, and waking up from naps on the weekend. Her dad gets her out of bed in the morning so I never get to see her first thing. I love seeing her bright happy face after a good nap.

When she randomly walks over and gives me a hug and a kiss

[mommabakes]

Right after she wakes up from her nap and she is super snuggly :-)

The minute I open the door after coming home from work and hear "mama mama" and watch her run and push our 90lb lab out of the way to get to me first (thankfully he's a big pansy!)

I love wake ups. First thing in the morning and after naps she's so sweet and happy but she wakes up slowly.

I also love bedtime. Cuddles and books, can't get enough.

During the week though, my favorite part is daycare pick up. I love to see her throw toys and bulldoze across the room to get to me.

It's hard to choose!
One of my favorites is her bedtime routine. After dinner she gets a bath which she is very excited about. She plays and giggles the entire time. Once I get her out she takes off naked and I chase her around the house and catch her and get her into her PJ's. Then we read a book. The last couple weeks her favorite has been "on the night you were born". She snuggles up with me and giggles while I read and every few pages turns her face towards me and puckers up for a kiss. Melted my heart the first time she did it and still does, every time!

When I go to pick her up from daycare, and the moment I'm spotted my LO drops whatever she has and gets the biggest smile and runs over to me w/ her arms up.

First thing in the morning. She is always so happy to see me walk into her room. She bounces in her crib and giggles and chats to me.

I have two..I can't choose. I love when I go get him from his crib 1st thing in the morning..he's always smiling and get so excited. And I also love right before bedtime when we do "quiet time"...he snuggles up close and we read or watch Sesame Street while he has his last bottle and he kisses me goodnight and waves "bye" when SO takes him to bring him to crib. (If I try to put him in crib it's major meltdown lol)

When we read together. After I get home from work. Naptimes since DS still loves to be cuddled when napping.

Playtime. At night, DH and I take them into the living room, gate it off, and let them run amok. It's just heartwarming to watch them run around, chase each other, laugh hysterically, and play together. During the day, when I am alone with them and on the playyard with them (it just makes it easier to keep an eye on them, I get crawled on and hugged and kissed by two amazing little people. It just makes my day. (And, of course, as I write this, I am avoiding extended contact with them as I am sick and don't want to pass it off to them.)
