Madison has been really whiny lately and only seems to want Mommy. While on one hand it is flattering to be the center of a person's world, it makes the simple things, like showering and going to the bathroom quite difficult. I have to sneak in the house after work and go and change my clothes before going in the living room and saying Hello or she goes into a living fit when I try and change my clothes after saying Hello.
Madison has also started to "give loves" and she grabs you by the neck (in my case by the hair) and pulls in close and open mouth kisses you (in my case sucks my chin) (Hey you call it sucking chin, I call it love!) She does it sometimes without warning and sometimes on cue when you ask for it. It is the cutest thing every. She does it to Papa, G'ma and Mommy. Problem is..Daddy has yet to receive any. Now don't get me wrong, Maddie's Daddy is very loving and is a fully participant parent. He also has 2 hours a day with her after G'ma's house and before Mommy gets home to spend quality time with her. He is also the one who can soothe her to sleep late at night when she wants nothing to do with Mommy. He starts singing to her and it is the sweetest thing on earth.
Well yesterday was the last straw for Daddy. Daddy was trying to give Mommy a "break" so she could do dishes (What kind of crap is that?) anyway....Madison twisted and turned away from him crying reaching out her arms to me in desparation. It was so sad. More sad was the look on Daddy's face. He was so butt hurt it wasn't funny.
Daddy was so hurt. No loves, and she only wants Mommy. I didn't know what to tell him to make him feel better. I wanted to reassure him this was normal (what the hell do I know about normal baby stuff) I made it up...I just told him, she knows what she wants and right now she wants Mommy and next time she'll want Daddy.
I can't believe it has been 7 months! Thanks Tawny for the B-day Shout out! What a ride, what a wonderful miraculous ride.
