It Runs in the Family

Judah is my snuggly, happy, giggly baby:) One of my favourite things to do with him is nurse. He is even cuter it seems when he's nursing. He always smiles up at me and sighs, and he has to be holding my hand or touching my face. And his little, chubby top leg is always moving. It's so funny to see---he'll have it straight up in the air, then his foot is on my face, then he's kicking it, I just find it so amusing:) Kallie was a very still nurser, so this is really different:)

One of the things he's been doing lately is so funny to me. Some background--since Lyndon and I first started dating, when he holds my hands, he tends to play with my fingernails. He rubs his finger tips along them, puts his nail under mine (is this weird to share?:) and it drives me CRAZY! He rarely does it anymore, but it's taken me about 7 years to get him to stop---he just did it out of habit:) When Kallie was about 18 months, she started doing the same thing. Whenever we're snuggling or watching cartoons together, if she's holding my hand, she's playing with my fingernails. I've gently tried to get her to stop (it really does bother me) but she still does it occasionally. So NOW, guess which little 8 month old has joined the family tradition? Instead of just holding my hand now, he plays with my thumbnail:) What is it with these Wagenaars and my fingernails:)? Or is it the driving me crazy part they enjoy?;p

I have no idea why all 3 of them do it, but it brings a smile to my face to think of my 3 loves, instinctually doing something (even as annoying and miniscule as it is:) all the same:)
