Baby breath. I don't think I will ever smell anything more wonderful. Elodie has the absolute best breath you will ever smell. And I am sure if you breastfeed your baby, you know what I am talking about. I have no idea if it's the same with a formula fed baby, but boy oh boy, does breastmilk smell heavinly coming out my little babe's mouth.
This morning, I wanted to wash a load of towels and so I went into the bathroom to put one of Elodie's towels into the washing machine. My nose was overcome with the scent of something wonderful. I squished the towel up against my nose and deeply breathed in the scent of Elodie. I could smell her breath all over that towel. I must have smelled it two or three times before running into the living room and asking a confused Robert to smell the towel. I don't blame him for not wanting to smell it at first. It wasn't the first time I put something in front of Robert's nose and asked him to smell it. After he put it to his nose though, he too understood why I was so persistant that he smell it. Birds chirped, babies laughed, a rainbow appeared in the sky and the two of us were able to experience heaven for a few moments.
It's so true! Even Jordan will rave about the wonderous, hypnotic scent of a breastfed baby's breath. It's like the signature scent of a wee one.
ReplyDeletedude, YES. I so get this. The milk smell. Same thing with the top of my baby's head/hair. Intoxicating!!
ReplyDeleteYes I too agree! I love the picture...the way she is looking at you is sweet. I can almost hear her say GOOO! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, that last paragraph is hilarious. I unfortunately have no idea what this smell is you refer to. I wonder if it also has something to do with it being your own child (s breath?). Probably has at least a little bit to do with it. But I'm sure Elodie DOES have nice breath :) Such a sweetie.
