When my friend Alee was a little girl she got a kitten. She would clutch the kitten to her body, longing for the cuddly closeness a kitten promises. The cat would be a wriggling mass of legs and fur and trying to escape. And Alee would just squeeze it closer and shout "Look, Mommy! He's satying with me!"
Sometimes I feel that way with Nate. I love nothing more than to rub my face next to his, to breathe in the baby shampoo smell, and to feel the softness of his skin and his hair. But I can only do it when he's asleep. Otherwise he's all wriggling and claws and trying to bite my face off... he's playing, but his nails hurt, and he has a few teeth now, and he really wants to get down and wander around the house so that he can find paper to eat.
