The smell, especially of their heads

Little toes, little fingers the grip your, tiny socks, big toes that look like mini 'human' toes, milky smiles, burps.

The smell when you nuzzle the tops of their darling little heads.

The way their fingers curl around yours.

The first smile.

Hope you feel better soon. xx

they fall asleep in any position ie. over your shoulder and their faces get all squashed up and they dribble on you.

The noise when they finally latch on after squaling for their food and they seem so so content.

The way they are all curled up in a little ball and you can hold them with one arm.

That little pursed lip thing they do and the way their little pink tongues poke in and
out when they are hungry.

The softness and the down on their little heads.

I hope you the next few months whizz past for you.

The way they stretch.
Their curled up hands.
Tiny toes that look like chips.
The way they nuzzle into your neck.
The tiny little cry they make.
The helplessness of them and how much they need you.

When they have had a bath and they are all clean and smell gorgeous, and the snuffle and snuggle into you.

It's true though they do. DS's nickname was 'chips for toes' for quite a while.
