• llittlecakes Posted 10-11-14My daughter has been hugging and kissing purposefully for months. I don't remember when ODS started.
• sdke Posted 10-11-14Still working on it with the 2 year old. Some aren't huggers. She does offer kisses, that probably started well after she turned one. The Feb LO does like to smack my boobs. Does that count?
• cCombsmb Posted 10-12-14My LO started hugging and snuggling a few weeks go and now does it constantly she's a few day shy of 8moAdvertisement | page continues below
• Mariekeblaze Posted 10-12-14My LO has been hugging for a few months now. She kisses too but by just opening her mouth and planting it on our cheeks.
• katykdd Posted 10-12-14My 8month old hugs me....but only so he can get to my hair to yank it.
• sSeamonkeyx2 Posted 10-12-14Dd gives hugs and were trying to teach her kisses. She's been hugging for a long time I can't remember when she first started
• iluvmyboys26 InactivePosted 10-12-14

  My lo is 8 months she started grabbing and hugging me and snuggling into my neck when I pick her up for like a month now she just started giving kisses like a week ago.

• beauryan4life Posted 10-12-14LO turned 8 months on the 8th and started hugging around then. He's been purposely kissing for months though !
• hapai hopes Posted 10-12-14My son is 8 months and not hugging or kissing. He does snuggle up against my chest, but just to smack my face, pinch my neck, pull my hair, or motor boat. He is holding on more when we carry him though.
• Jamber25 Posted 10-12-14No real hugs here, either, but I get kisses almost daily. DH is jealous, but he has a beard...no wonder LO won't give him kisses.
