our changing baby

Good weekend, all!

I just wanted to update everyone on Charlie's great progress. He no longer gets the label "Momma's boy" around here, he has at last discovered the amazing entity that is Daddy!

He's known Daddy was around for most of his life, and he's even really liked and very much loved Daddy for most of his life, but never before has he chosen Daddy over Mommy. Of course, I realize that's just where he is in life, it's the way life is layed out in front of him. Mommy is here 24 hours a day every day. Mommy nurses him. The world is Mommy.

But no more! While he still clings to me as much as he can, he now is Daddy's little boy! If Daddy's in the room, he reaches for him. If Daddy leaves the room he either cries for him or follows hot on his heels! And sometimes...sometimes when he cries...it makes me just tear up to say the words, but sometimes when he cries, it's only Daddy that can soothe him.

For all of my friends who are mothers, are there more beautiful words in the world than what I just wrote??? I don't think so!

Ahhhhhhhhhh............life is good.
