Treasuring the cuddles

Recently Nathanael has been willing to cuddle from time to time. In general, it needs to be right before or after sleep. And if we can give him a pacifier to hold, he'll often suck on his fingers, lay his head on our shoulder, and hug. (Yes, he actually prefers to HOLD a pacifier -- or the nose of his elephant lovey -- when he's really tired.) It's precious. And I'm not sure if this is a stage he's going through or if it has to do with something else (maybe he's teething?), but we are thoroughly enjoying it and taking complete advantage of it while it lasts.

This afternoon after naptime, Nathanael was cuddling and hugging. I decided to continue the sweet moment by singing him a soft, sweet song. His reaction? He started jumping and bouncing in my arms. Oh well. Cuddle time turned into mother-son crazy dancing time. I'll take what I can get. We had fun dancing around the room.

No pictures of cuddling available, but here's our cutie eating a vacuum cleaner part.
