Oh, what a feeling!

At this very moment, I am experiencing one of the very best feelings in the world. I have a beautiful 8 month old baby girl sleeping in my arms. She is the daughter of my son's girlfriend. It has been quite a while since I have had a little one in my home. I love holding this baby girl as she falls asleep. She snuggles in to me and I get lost in her eyes. It takes a little while for her to surrender to being tired, so there are moments where her little feet move back and forth and occasionally she clenched her tiny hands. At one point as I am singing her a lullaby, she reaches out and grabs my nose and mouth over and over. A couple of times this little punkin' starts cooing contentedly and that is sweet music to my ears. I know I should take baby girl to a bedroom and put her to sleep on a bed, but I think I will savor this feeling just a while longer.
