I Want My Mommy

Baby's separation anxiety has been on a slow ramp upward for the last six to eight weeks. It has grown so strong that she is currently protesting when her mom attempts to put baby in my arms. You would think that I would find this difficult, and you would be right. No father wants to see his baby fuss to avoid being held by him. At the same time, it is nice to watch baby's attachment to her mom grow stronger and stronger, and I suspect I have every reason to anticipate getting to bond with baby myself again when the time comes. I did get to hold her in the pool tonight at a going-away party held for us by some friends. Baby smiled and laughed and kicked, entertaining all who observed her, but especially her dad.
