Baby Love

Baby love. It describes many things. A baby crying until she is picked up. That same baby turning her head towards daddy when he cradles her, as if expecting that he can feed her the same way mommy does. It might explain the baby's reluctance to turn her head away even when it's obvious that what she's trying to suckle on is covered by one of daddy's favorite shirts. And it's such a powerful force that it keeps daddy from getting more than mildly irritated when she finally turns away in search of her bottle, leaving a slobbery mess in her wake on what is also one of daddy's more difficult to clean shirts.
