No matter how old she gets or how much she grows, Babykins always seems to be the perfect fit for my arms. When she was first born, I thought that as she got bigger, it would be more and more difficult to pick her up and cuddle her. With each new size, though, it seems that we automatically find a new and effortless way to fit together.
Yesterday, Babykins woke up from her nap but was still looking tired. I picked her up from her crib hoping that she would fall back asleep. As I lifted her, she positioned herself so that she was perfectly settled in my arms, legs and arms tucked up, head on my shoulder and snuggled under my chin. She gave a little wiggle to burrow in, then closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep.
As I looked at her little sleeping face, it hit me that, despite being a big 10-monther, Babykins is still really just a baby, and no matter how big she gets, we'll always be a perfect fit.
Yes, and you and your sisters will always be a perfect fit for us.
