Come over here and give me a kiss!



We've mentioned it before, but it needs another post. Evie is all kisses and tickles lately. She can blow kisses (hand to her mouth and "mmmmm-mwaa!") or she requests them (pursed lips and a "mmmmm"). No one is immune from the kisses. Even her bedtime cuddle toy requests kisses. She holds out the cuddle and says "mmmm" until you kiss him good night. It is such a joy to have your baby show her love. She also is a great tickler, and gets into tickle fits where she wanders around the house saying "ticka ticka" and wiggling her fingers. Her fingers are right at knee height, and I've learned my knees are really ticklish. She's relentless! Though, I'm not sure she understands that only people are ticklish, because she has also tried tickling the couch and the fuzzy rug in her room. It seems the perfect storm, then, that she has been battling a bad cold this week. She is completely stuffed up and has a really bad cough. So, the last thing you want is to kiss her snot-smeared face and let her germy hands tickle everything in sight. But she is so cute! Here's to hoping that she is on the mend and that we are not next on the sick list.


If I cover my nose, will you give me a kiss?
