a moment of cuddle.

i just remembered something else from over the weekend...on saturday, avery took a later nap than usual and i had to wake her up so she wasn't completely thrown off that night. her eyes were actually open when i went into her room, but she was pretty sleepy and out of it. i picked her up (with her blanket and pacifier) and she put her head on my shoulder. i backed up and sat in the rocker and for over 20 minutes we cuddled in silence. i'm pretty sure she must have drifted back to sleep a few times...her hand that had been playing with my wrist and rings flopped once or twice and i could hear her stop sucking on her "buppa". it was the most relaxed and peaceful i've felt in a looong time. it was such a sweet moment and one that i won't forget...ever...
