When they start to smile and giggle...it seems to make those sleepless nights worth it!!
KimMay 22, 2009 at 8:38 AM

My favorite part is the when they sleep on my chest. I love sleeping babies.
Micah CMay 22, 2009 at 11:31 AM
I just love how sweet they are. They smell so good. I just love the holding and snuggling part. My baby is 18 months and I am hungry for more!!
windycindyMay 22, 2009 at 12:36 PM
I like how very small and helpless newborns are! I like being needed.
Also, the way they instinctively know who their mother and father are!
Coddling and holding an infant are such fun for me! I adore Aden + Anais

I love their perfectly soft skin and how it smells fresh from heaven! Perfect to snuggle with!
SarahMay 22, 2009 at 2:33 PM
My favorite is the way they just curl up in a ball to sleep, whether on you, in a moby or on their bed. It is just so precious. Oh, I miss that so much!
Amy R.May 22, 2009 at 2:36 PM
I miss their sweet smell of just washed and lotioned skin and the way they nestled into me for warmth and love. These blankets are beautiful!

*And I hope you meant that the contest closes on May 28th, not April....
JinxyMay 23, 2009 at 1:16 PM
I love the squishy snuglyness
ShannonMay 23, 2009 at 4:39 PM
the second they are born. That moment is so overwhelming. The end of pregnancy, and the beginning of a unique person.
MOMFOREVERANDEVERMay 23, 2009 at 9:58 PM
when they smile so innocently even when they are shooting out poopy- those innocent smiles are worth a million bucks
XeniaMay 24, 2009 at 5:40 AM
I love a newborn's ability to fall asleep anywhere whenever they are tired. My daughter is now 5 months old and I miss her being able to just close her eyes and go to sleep in my arms or the stroller, now she has to make it known that she's tired!

Thanks!

My favorite is the pure love you feel when you hold that sweet innocent baby. There is no feeling like it.

I loved my son's fuzzy head and his new baby smell. And how much sleep he got! Although it was usually when I was holding him, not in a crib.
sherieMay 24, 2009 at 9:01 PM
I love when you are holding them and they arch their backs and stretch. My sis just brought a preemie home who would love to be bundled in one of these blankets!
JodieMay 25, 2009 at 8:39 AM
I love that they sleep all the time and practically anywhere! I could live everyday of my life with a newborn asleep on my chest!
ooshelaMay 26, 2009 at 6:40 AM
okay, so now I see the question...I LOVE to have a newborn sleeping on my chest, especially with their face snuggled into the crook of my neck.
SueMay 26, 2009 at 10:26 AM
I love how little they are, snuggling that little baby, nursing the baby and having a great excuse to just sit and stare at my little boys. Thanks for sharing~

There are so many things. I'm living it right now! I would have to say all the smells... There isn't one bad one. Even the poops (if breastfeeding) smell sweet! And the soft, soft skin.
ShaletMay 28, 2009 at 10:10 AM
How they snuggle, sleep and smell. My little guy is two months old and quickly growing, but how I love having a baby in the house!!!
LindleyMay 28, 2009 at 4:41 PM
I love the late night rocking chair moments where all you can hear is breathing. Thanks!
