Well, I like to think of it as kisses

As baby sizes go, Isobel is now the perfect size for hugging. You can wrap your arms around her tight, they overlap, squeeze her to your chest, she'll stretch her arms out wide and wrap them around your neck or pull you close using your hair as handles, and then she'll put her cheek against yours.

If you are really lucky, she'll open her mouth and give you a big slobbery kiss.

Well, I think of it as 'kisses for Mummy'. PD? He just thinks she wants to eat everything, including her parents.

Mothers always know best, don't they?
