My Shadow

I have a little shadow that follows me from room to room, at least he would if he could move fast enough. I know, that will come with time. Conner is getting so mobile now. He tries to find me whenever I leave a room and cries the entire time. I can't even go to the bathroom or take a shower these days with out him freaking out. He hold tightly to my shirt while he falls asleep and cries, "mama, mama, mama" when he can't see me or feel me. As much I totally ADORE this kid, I really want to be able to pee without the screaming. He loves his sister too, he wants to be wherever she is as long as it's not too close to her. He loves her from far away. He loves his dad, but even Clint will tell you that he is just a way to get to me when I won't pick him up. If he sees me and wants to be cute he'll look at me cock his head to one side and coo a high little coo and then giggle. That is his way of saying, "Look how cute I am, you know you want to pick me up." He's so dang CUTE! I just love him. I guess the shadow isn't so bad, I know I'll miss it when he moves beyond this stage...

That is a hard stage. They are so flipping cute, but it is so draining to be holding a baby or listening to them cry all day long. It is good to keep it in perspective, like you said. You will be sad when they aren't at that stage anymore. I'm still waiting for that stage to end with Mary. Good thing she's adorable!
