These moments

are happiness.

I love to nurse my baby, now.

It was rough for a while, yes it was.

But now, it is my favorite time of day. I cuddle her and she strokes my arm. I speak softly to her and she looks up and smiles at me. She tries to wiggle away and I guide her back.

We are together.

 It's basically heaven dipped in sugar.

She needs me, and it's so nice to be needed so much.

Because I need her too. So much.

What kind of camera do you use? I love all your pictures! Beautiful!
I can't wait until I can nurse (and not pump) for my next baby one day!

Annie, I think I'm the only blogger who doesn't have an SLR. I used a Cannon PowerShot 750 that I got at Costco! It's been great and takes a killer macro shot.

Umm... probably the sweetest post ever! This really is the best time of nursing when they're so interactive! Thank you for this post! We love you!

Oh my goodness! She is so Beautiful! It's sometimes nice to hear that others have the feeling that breastfeeding isn't their favorite at first too, I was that way with both of my boys and now I finally have come to realize it's not too bad. I just had the wrong attitude back then.

I'm do glad you guys are doing so well! I love the pic of her cute little polka dot swim bottoms with her little cheeky bum! So Cute!

This made me want to have another baby. Sometimes I dread the nursing part, but you're right..about 6 months in, it becomes heavenly. SHe is just too cute! Hope you're having a blast with Harold & DeAnn. We're ready for them to come back. :) I bet you've loved having them there.
