holding babies

im learning to hold the new baby..its what i do now that i have time to help round the house (baby wise) ..alex is a very quiet kid, doesnt complain that much...when he does, he just wants someone to hold him for a minute or two then he will get quiet,smile (ot at least i like to think so) and fall asleep for the next few hours..
so it got me thinking in a bigger context... we all essentially long for someone to 'hold us'..it doesnt necesarily mean in a romatnci way..but it could be a friendship that never fails, maybe someone that listens, an IM- so many ways to reach for someone that just needs you..
when i look at alex., it just puts everything in perspective..its like i have this pudgy baby (yes i fat one) just crying..hoping to get holded consoled maybe...

wow i got so much work to do with myself..

on a happier-less introspective note
