Maya Muses: Babies for some reason just make people smile! Their innocence captures our hearts and they lighten our spirits. So if you happen to be a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, friend, neighbor, etc. of a baby, take the time to make them smile and you’re guaranteed to be happy!
Something to remember:

Thanks for these wonderful photos of true Innocence!
And the words of wisdom under them!
it is true what you say….
I remember when one of my brothers son was only 3month old…and my mum and I took care of him for a couple of weeks….
When I had the “night shift”,and slept in the same room as him….It was an amazing feeling to wake up in the middle of the night to give him his night meal and change diapers…I was half asleep,but very aware at the same time,and he was too….To sniff his wonderful baby skin and feel his little warm body when he stretched his legs while I took off his wet diapers and then his content little smile when I put on new ones and then held him in my arms while feeding him,that feeling must be experienced…this little innocent child touch my heart deeply…he was so sweet…
Then to put him back to bed and go back to sleep again was heaven too,knowing that he probably would wake me up again around 6…I used to pick him up and snuggle with him in my bed,before he insisted on having food and diapers changed…Around 10 I was so tired I could have slept standing!LOL…But I loved it!
He is now 20 something..a handsome young man!
What stories you can tell about these “little innocent wise people”,and how much we can learn from them,that so many of us have forgot!
The wonder of life and the world we live in!
Now a days it seems that we don’t have time for them as we use to…They have to grow up really fast….I wonder why?What is the hurry?
My favorite is nr:7!He is adorable!With that hair and those eyes!
Waste time? What is that?
Am I wasting my time sitting here writing?Or?

What a wonderful story! Like you, I don’t have children (my choice), but I loved having that contact for the first time with Katia when she was a baby!
I too love the photo of the little boy with that hair! He looks like an adorable little elf with those ears! Who cannot smile looking at these photos!
As for wasting your time….well if you enjoy writing and commenting, then no it’s not a waste of time. When it becomes a chore, then yes you are! (I, for one, hope you’re not, but as you well know, that’s for you to decide!)

Yeah…I know, I have started to write a blog myself..Just written one thing…to see if I like it or not..
For I need to feel free,if you know what I mean..It is easier to comment on what you or Tina write for example…no obligations,no expectations..
I have to see if I can write my own blog in that way..and see if I feel I have anything to say!hehe
Here is my blog:

Tina is the only one who has read it yet!
And Ulf!
See if I write some more later!
We have no children either, out of choice…
And yes…They truly make you smile!

I love the name of your blog! Lol! As I’ve told you many times there is a lot of wisdom that you can give to others, I’m so glad that you’re writing!
I will be a frequent visitor to your blog as you have been to mine!

Love the photos Lynn.
I had a photo of my brother when he was about a yeah old after he’d had a bath…. he’s looking at the camera and smiling without a care in the world that he’s completely naked. If anyone tries to show that photo to anyone he gets annoyed… might have to tell my mum to dig it out when he invites a girlfriend over…..
