I sit for hours and hours just holding my baby and never get tired of just looking at her.Just watching her so peaceful so tiny takes away any other care in the world.Have you felt this way?How do you look at your children?

I know what you mean. Although my girls are 8 and 7 now, I catch myself staring and thinking how lucky I am. I especially love to look at them when they are sleeping. They just look so peaceful and angelic. My sister has a little boy who just turned one and I am inlove with him....I even stare at his pictures. So I think from a parents point of view, this is totally natural. Happy Parenting!

I used to love looking at my 2 daughters as a baby. When they were babies I would just hold them and stare at them for hours on end. Even now, my girls are 3 and 4 1/2 and when they sleep I stare at them for a little while while they are sleeping. It still amazes me how quickly they are growing and changing every day.

I did that when they were babies. I loved to watch them sleep' I still do, but not for the same reason. I loved to lay down and cuddle with them. I don't get the chance to do that much any more. Enjoy it while you can. Take in every moment. They don't stay babies forever.

I loved looking at my kids when they were babies, I still do actually. They are so beautiful to me and I look at them and think of how blessed I am, and how thankful to God I am for the blessings he has bestowed on me by giving me this beautiful children and trusting me to raise them.
