As the girls get older this is the one thing that I miss most from their "baby/ toddler-hood". I miss holding them as they drift off to sleep as you breathe in their scent, watch their eyelids and their roving eyes underneath, the lashes that graze their peachy cheeks as you note every freckle and mole on their face. I know they don't mind my paunchy mid-section as they snuggle in to my soft chest as their breaths become heavier and they lightly snore.
I am really glad to capture a time when Daddy gets to embrace this ritual. There is nothing so sweet as rocking your "baby" to sleep.
