Feeling the sweetness

I just peeked in on my sleeping babies. There is nothing more angelic or more pure than a sleeping baby. You can see the innocence on their face. They can and do go all day screaming for you to do this for them, do that for them. Barely a moment is available for rest. But then they sleep. I look in on them five or six times during their naps and even more than that when I put them down for the night. They are almost seven months old now and I still feel compelled to check if they are okay. Make sure they are just sleeping. All I have to do is give them a small rub on the cheek. They do a little shiver or a little movement and I know all is well. I read that babies who use pacifiers are less likely to have SIDS. With a pacifier they do not go into as deep a sleep and then are easier to wake if in the wrong position. Something like that. My son Julian is pacifier obsessed, which I admit I am okay with. Emily loves her pacifier too but Julian is just hooked. When I go in to check on them at night I will sometimes give Julian his pacifier. I really do this because I think it is so darn cute seeing him completely asleep but when I rub the pacifier on his lip him going for it. His little mouth opening and he leans forward. All while staying asleep. I tried with Emily but once she is asleep she no longer cares about the pacifier. But if there was ever an angel it is sleeping Emily. Where Julian looks cuter than anything you have ever seen Emily pulls my heart strings.
