daddy's little girl

i love watching christian and minnie. 

christian is a natural with kids.  

he always has been. 

is it possible to be more than a natural? 

if so, that is what he is with our little minnie mae.

he loves her so much. 

his face lights up with he sees her, as does her's when she sees him. 

i love it.

minnie isn't much of a cuddler.  

she never has been. 

sometimes we try and coach her along in cuddling.

it usually fails. 

last sunday, when she woke up from a nap she cuddled

with her daddy for about 5 seconds. 

i didn't catch the original cuddle on camera. 

however, she appeased us and recreated it for about 3 seconds. 

long enough for me to get a couple of shots. 

christian, nana, papa and i were all elated. 

turns out cuddling is a milestone at our house.

i don't think we will be quite as excited when she starts cuddling with boys she is dating. 

but for now, we are going to continue to try to get her to cuddle with us.
