Mama's Girl

Maddy made her grandma cry on Friday. After my mom picked up and took her home for a little sleepover - Maddy cried her eyes out. Mom said she was fine for little bits of time, but would look all around and then start crying. She said, "I knew she just wanted you." Mom was gonna just bring her back home to us, but then she wore herself out and fell asleep. When she woke up the next morning, she was her happy, smiley self.

We were slightly afraid of this. You see, earlier last week, my grandparents stopped over to see the baby and she wouldn't let them hold her. She would scream until I held her. She would smile, laugh and play with them as long as I was holding her.

Also, when my mom came to get her, she just kept staring at me, watching my every move. She wasn't paying any attention to my mom, who was shaking toys at her and trying to play with her.

Hmmm.... As much as I love the fact that she knows me and loves me, I really don't want her to be a "clingy" baby. I want her to enjoy spending time with the rest of her family. My mom says it is a phase, and that I went through it too. I hope so.

I'm hoping she's ok at MIL's house today. She was so cute this morning - all snuggly and giving me big hugs when I was holding her.

My secret meeting is now Weds. morning. Have to figure out a strategy to be inconspicuous. Whatever I do, I will arrange it so that I get to spend some alone time with Maddy too :)
