Tender moments
Tonight when I was giving Emma her bedtime bottle she was concentrating on my face. For the first time she seemed to take a real interest, reaching up with her hands and exploring. She'd touch my nose, poke a finger in my mouth, I'd nibble it or suck on it to surprise her. When she touched my nose I'd say "nose" and then I'd touch her nose and say it again. Then she'd scratch her head or touch her ears and then reach up to my face and start over again. She sticks her finger in my mouth and I suck and realize, jeez louise, I just watched you digging in your ear with that finger! Ugh! Tasty.
