Yesterday I came home for lunch and Mina was having a nap, so I decided to supervise. Pretty soon, we were snoring and drooling together. She gets super hot when she sleeps, just like me.
When I woke up, I smelled her head and thought about how long babies retain that newborn milky smell. My best guess is until six months or so. It may linger a bit longer than that, or it might just be your imagination.
If she doesn’t smell like a sweet baby any more, dare I ask what she smells like?
Is she talking coherently yet, at all? Any words?
She still smells sweet, but not milky like a newborn.
She babbles and grunts and gets what she wants, but she wants to talk so badly…
I remember how drenched with sweat you’d be when sleeping….and holding you while walking around felt like dakko-ing a heavy, sweaty hot water bottle.
But how cute and precious babies are, right? Especially Mina-chan. It’s hard to put her down when she’s so angelic and sweet. Enjoy these fleeting days of babyhood, dad!
