Sweet Dreams ~ Sweet Babies

My friend Bernie @ On My Own had a post the other day about babysitting for a neighbor who's baby was too sick to drop off at Daycare. She wrote about how good it felt to just sit and hold a sleeping baby again.
I couldn't agree with her more! I loved all those years with my own five babies, and then I was Blessed to have two grandchildren.

Here's Jayden:




And then I was lucky enough to have all this joy again with Mia!





And every once in awhile I was especially lucky to have them both at once!

    Good morning Eileen...I have a feeling you are missing Jayden an awful lot with him being away at school...it does make us realize how quickly they grow...and the different stages of their developement...they are wonderful memories and photos to have...their sleeping in your arms.
    Hope Jayden has a great day at school...and makes lots of new friends.

    Smiles to you this morning Eileen,
    Wanda

    What wonderful photos and you are so cute, Eileen. Loved seeing the babies progressive pictures and each one grew so much hair so fast!! Sometimes babies change so much as they get older that you can't recognize them but Jayden and Mia both kept their adorable looks as babies.

    It is so wonderful to cuddle little ones, isn't it? I sleep with Olivia when I visit and we have no choice but to cuddle on a single bed and it is very sweet!

    blessings and snuggly hugs,

    Oh what priceless joy in those pictures. Nothing like a grandma and her babies. That's wonderful you have these pictures as they will mean so much to Jayden and Mia, especially as they grow older.

    Eileen I have to tell you that I loved these adorable photos of Jayden and Mia. But in that second photo of Mia she really looks like a baby doll!

    And don't you find it near impossible to stay awake while holding a sleeping baby? I do!
    Very sweet Eileen! Love Di

    What wonderful "hands-full" of cuddles!!!! There is nothing more invigorating that snuggling and cuddling a wee one! Thank you, as our Daniel is due to be delivered in just a few days. Though I won't be able to see him right away, the anticipation is grand!!!! God bless you!! Cathy

    ahhhh! yes! Babies are so precious, and holding them is such a blessing. I can see you really love holding them Eileen, and they are so beautiful. Makes me really miss my grandchildren even more...sigh! Hopefully, Adam and Ashley will think about having children soon : )

    My dear friend Eileen,
    What wonderful pictures of you and your grands... and wow, you are one lovely umma!

    Your visits to my blog always delight and warm my heart, I just wanted you to know that.

    Eileen, if you have a bit of time, I invite you to re-read the last part of my Sept 30 post. I have re written it and honestly shared more of what I am personally going through. It has not really been easy for me these days.

    I will surely appreciate your prayers at this time.

    Love
    Lidj

    Good morning Eileen, What a great post! Your grandchildren are beautiful ♥ Your right, there is nothing more wonderful in this world than holding a baby. I too enjoyed my children, grandchildren, and now great-grandchildren. I feel incredibly blessed! Thank you for adding a button about my fashion show to your blog and for all of the lovely comments you leave me. Please tell Jayden that Charli sends him a great big hug :>)

    Oh, boy, do I agree with you, Eileen! Babies and grandchildren are blessings poured out into a mother's heart from God...He surely does love His daughters, to give them little ones to love and nuture. You are a very loving woman, and the babies in your life will know what love is.

    God bless,
    Mary
