DS is 17 months, but pretty much since the time he was able to move around a bit, he's been independent. He's never been very cuddly except in the few minutes right after he wakes up or right before bed. Or if he's sick. He always wants to be doing something, usually on his own without help. He's constantly on the go.

I think that's one of the reasons I miss the newborn days... I really loved just cuddling with him all the time.

I mentioned to a friend that I hoped my next child was a total mama's baby, but they said I was crazy to want a baby that wanted to be held all the time.
