what a girl wants

Isabelle likes to cuddle, but not as much as she used to. We commented today that if we'd know the cuddles would become less frequent we would have cherished them more (if that is possible.) She still does cuddle though, usually just before or after a nap or after she eats. Her favourite is to lay in my arms after I've fed her and just stare up at my face and smile with a beaming smile as I stroke her face and tell her how beautiful she is. Today, as I was holding her like this, running my finger along her cheek, round her chin and tracing her smile I whispered to her "Oh Isabelle, you just love this, being held, gazed at adoringly and told how beautiful you are," and then I realised, what girl doesn't love this???
