Last night as Paige was on her changing pad (after bath and getting her diaper on) she grabbed my hand and said "hug!" and pulled it to her chest/heart. (This was the first time I've heard her say "hug.") She proceeded to snuggle it with both her arms tightly and rocked her body a little to the left and then a little to the right. A sort of hugging sway. She had a big smile and held my hand so close. It was so sweet and I almost cried. She then did the same to Chris' hand.
Paige had never been much of a snuggler; always preferring to be on the move or doing something else (but not for lack of effort on OUR part to get snuggles!). She's been becoming much more affectionate in the past couple of months and I'm loving it!
I was lucky enough for her to do the hand hug with me again this morning after she ate her breakfast in her high chair. She suddenly grabbed my hand, said "hug!"and did the same thing. I about melted into a blob right there. That would have been a good time for her to ask me for a car. She missed out on that one!

Isn't it wonderful when these moments come? Finally, all that love and emotion you've been pouring into this wee one, coming back to you. The other night my Chloe cupped my face in both her hands and said "wuv oo". I cried. I finally, fully and completely, felt like mom.
I just about cried reading this, so cute!
Awww, how cute. Violette has also recently started giving is big hugs and kisses. For Daddy, on the forehead when the beard grows ;)), "ça pique", she says.
She was not at all into hugging etc., just like Paige, apparently.
