Another Childhood Capture for Val **UPDATED!!**

I need to note this someplace...

One thing I love about Valiant is that she loves to cuddle with her stuffed animals, and the occasional doll. She'll kiss them with a "mwah"and then tucks them under her arm close to her as she toddles around. It is toooo precious!

When she is being carried, she still does this little grasp with her hands that hails back to infanthood. She clings to your shirt as if she's holding on for dear life. It is truly adorable. It's like a baby monkey grasping its mommy, or the shoulder of someone, or a koala bear holding on. I have a picture, but can't upload it yet. I wanted to get a pic before she grew out of it. I'm so glad I do!

Here is the pictorial evidence of this precious grasp. I wonder if I took any of her doing this as a newborn, infant and little baby. It's been a trait for her little life thus far....



and I just love her eye lashes here...so peaceful as she sleeps too.



Oh - I DID find one of newborn Val and J :) Look at that precious cling.....
