My huggle bubble

In the past few weeks George has learnt to hug. Not just to curl into a ball against you or to tuck in his arms and snuggle against your shoulder but to really hug. To put both arms around your neck and grip tight like you imagine a monkey doing.

As his language continues to grow, "huggle" has also been added to the list of words we are treated to daily. "Mummy huggle, mummy huggle, up" followed by a huge hug from my little man is the best feeling in the world. Perfect food for the soul. And, lucky for us, one he is sharing with Mark and I on a daily basis.

The world seems full of posts about how hard parenting is. Parenthood and challenge seem to be interchangeable words. Yes, it has its moments but hugs with your baby more than tips the balance. Life is good.
