A first for me.

I spent a blissful 45 minutes this morning holding a five week old baby boy. He was a hot and heavy bundle of sheer gorgeousness, I've held babies before but not one as young as this. His eyes are beginning to hold focus, we spent anything up to two minutes eye-gazing before he lost it, his yawns were delightful but I missed seeing a sneeze because I was talking to his granny (my masseuse). I heard it though - and burps from either end. He had just been fed when I arrived so he was nicely satiated and sleepy.

Mr DD has a rival for my affections: come to think of it there are many similarities between the two of them. DD

But remember DD they are just as demanding as our menfolk. Mig

My husband just adores the smell of new or small babies.
When our grand children were born he says he remembers their smell.

We recently went to Toronto to meet our third grandchild and my husband couldn't wait to cuddle and 'smell' our beautiful second grand-daughter.

(Pity they have to grow up)

Only joking.

Every family member baby I have held seems to throw up on me!! I don't know why but so far touch wood My Niece's baby Ollie hasn't done it but maybe I have just hexed myself! Note to self make sure I wear an old jumper when he comes round my house next!!!
