Rock-A-Bye Baby

I just love having a baby fall asleep while I'm holding them. It's so relaxing, having them snuggle into you. Of course, it's also a real workout. Especially if the little darling will fuss the second you sit down or try to put them in their crib.
The baby girl I just babysat loves to be held. And she loves to be moving while you're holding her. So I was walking around the house and talking to her. No, I'm not completely crazy - she was talking to me too. She's actually very talkative and was able to hold up her end of the conversation with a lot of "hey"s and some mostly incoherent babbling. It was really, really fun. Until she started getting super tired. Then she went completely rag doll on me, flopping all over the place. So I got to keep walking around, trying to keep her from flipping over in my arms, and not being able to stop or sit down. But even though it was tiring, I loved it. Every time she thought I was going to put her down, she grabbed me as tight and she could and cuddled her face into me.
It helps that I'm a major pushover when it comes to really little kids. =)
