what i live for

when addison was itty bitty, she would cuddle. but she didn't really know better. she couldn't really move around, so if i cuddled with her, she was kind of stuck. i loved cuddling her with then.

now that she's moving all over the place, she doesn't really want to cuddle anymore.

sometimes she doesn't want anything to do with me and would rather play with her toys by herself. don't get me wrong, that's totally fine. it gives me a little me time. but i do wish she would cuddle more.

very recently, she's started to give hugs and kisses. she's been giving kisses for a while, but she's really started to understand recently. there are {few} times when she'll come over to me and want to sit in my lap. she'll give me a kiss and then give me a hug. she cuddles up to me and it is the best feeling in the world. i could just sit like that with her forever.

i absolutely love waking addison up in the morning and from her naps, because she always wants to cuddle then. it's so lovely. i'll just pick her up and she'll cuddle with me. ahhh. everything bad just melts away.

it's not very long lived, but it's totally worth it!
