The last time Jordan really cuddled with us was around three months old, this new phase of his is quite refreshing. Some things haven't changed in the eight months of Jordan's life... like how much he still loves the Bjorn, being held upside down, having his legs pulled straight (Asian wives' tale to get longer straighter legs), taking a bath, and smiling. Other things... like the difficulty of changing his diaper, putting him to sleep, and putting his clothes on, continue to baffle me.
He loves balls, ropes, electronic devices (remote controllers, beepers, and phones) credit cards, putting all of these into his mouth, crawling, standing, Baby Einstein, and yours truly.
Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with his obsession of me, but then I remember... this won't last forever and he will grow up and not want to hug mom anymore. So for now, I am indulging in the moment, taking it all in, and loving it. Okay, so maybe not all the time, but I'm trying... and I remind myself of the honor and the greatness of being all that he wants sometimes.
Funny enough, for how much he loves me, I hardly have any photos of just him and me. Better start asking strangers to take photos for me, or learn how to take better reverse shots of us (it's hard because all I focus on is how I look - egotistical me, and Jordan is always not paying attention when I look good hahahahaha).
Us at the BYU vs UCI volleyball game where the Cougars beat the Anteaters. I know, Anteaters... really?

I love this....it reminds me of Alex and I :) Also we don't have any pictures together either so maybe we should have a photo shoot next week of just us and the boys!!
Very cute! I have a cuddly baby too. It's such a sweet feeling :)
Great Proud Mommy Moment! Thank you so much for linking up.
And yes, there is nothing so sweet as a cuddly baby. My kids all seemed to way too quickly prefer daddy- it hurt at first, but now when he gets home and they just want dad I relish in the break :)
And go Cougars!
