The smell.

What is it that is so intoxicating about the smell of a newborn baby? How can something come from inside you and come out smelling so wonderful. Jackson is 2 ½ and I still smell the top of his head. My 6 month old still has “baby’s breath” and I take note of it often as I know it will seem like mere moments before I have the wonderful smells of childhood and teenage years on my hands. But for these few fleeting moments I will never pass up an opportunity to take a deep breath and give them a kiss on the top of their sweet little heads.
