How To Hug A Baby

December 3, 2009

My dear friend Anna sent me this email the other day, and it really resonated with me as I just held my very first baby a few weeks ago. Yes I realize that it is strange that I have gone 23 years without a little baby nugget in my arms, but I was holding out for a real stunner, and I think my favorite little Charlie Man was about as good as it gets in terms of cuddly baby.firstbaby

Anyway, if there are any other nervous baby holders out there, I hope you find this tutorial helpful:

Step 1: First, uh, find a babybaby1

Step 2: Make sure the object you found is indeed a baby by employing classic sniffing techniquesbaby2

Step 3: Next you will need to flatten the baby before beginning the Hugging processbaby3

Step 4: The “Paw Slide”, simply slide paws around baby and prepare for potential close upbaby4

Step 5: Finally, this is your moment, Hug, Smile, and Lean, CHEESE!baby5

    hahahaha. That is Boston’s uncle. Also, the flattening process is a bit frightening!

    Really cute especially when baby smiles even though giant dog envelopes said baby.
