Will my baby ever just want to cuddle??

After my oldest DD hit about 3 months she stopped wanting to cuddle too. I think its pretty normal. Especially for "high octane" babies!! Riordan sounds like one to me, so was my first DD. I have to admit she has never gone back to being a cuddly kid either. We have a strange relationship. She is almost 16 so I know thats alot of it, but even when she was little, like 6 or 7, she still didn't like being hugged and kissed on. Its just her personality. My DS is a total opposite! He is a marshmallow and loves to hug and cuddle and kiss me. Baby #3 is still very small, almost 3 months, so she is still loving on me. I wonder if she will take after her sister or her brother??

I understand exactly how you feel. Annabelle has never been a cuddly baby. She's been "on the move" since she was born. But sometimes when she is playing, she will run over to me and give me a hug or a kiss and dash off again. It just melts my heart! I'm sure that Riordan will reciprocate your affection in her own way when she is a little older.

Audrey has never been interested in cuddling, aside from when she was just a teeny newborn. The rare times that she WILL cuddle are when she's sick...so at least that's one good thing about her being sick. It brings out her cuddly side :)
