I presume "holy shit" is a criticism of the above.
It is a common phenomenon amongst the higher mammals to be exceedingly
tolerant, playful and solicitous of the young. I also love to cuddle and play
with young children. The feeling is even stronger if I am related to the
child (as was the author of the first note).
Perhaps the "holy-shitter" has not had much experience with babies? One has
to be pretty hard-hearted not to respond to their appeal. I have a friend
who is afraid to hold his little nephew because he worries about "doing it
wrong" but even he longs to play with the baby. That baby is passed all
around the room and cooed at and cuddled by everyone and the baby loves it!
