My uncuddly baby

One of the best things about having a little baby is getting to cuddle with them. Babies that are under 6 months old can pretty much sleep anywhere and they’re always so cuddly to hold. I love having a cuddly baby asleep on my shoulder. It is one of the sweetest things. That is unless you have an uncuddly baby. My third baby is one. 

Steele hates being cuddled and rocked to sleep. Now that’s not to say that he isn’t so sweet in other ways. He absolutely loves to sit on my lap facing me and coo and smile with his gummy grin. But when it comes to going to sleep he screams bloody murder until you put him in his crib and leave him alone. Once you do he will cry for just a minute or two before heading off into dreamland. I have never seen anything like it.  

Every baby is different, just like each person has their own personality and Steele is no exception. I love that Steele talks it up and smiles at me, just like I love Gardner’s stories about school and Caitiejane walking around like she has a song on in her head. So even if Steele is the most uncuddly baby I’ve had I love him just the same.
