That Didn't Take Long

Gavin was beginning to say Dada only a few days ago. He said Mama last night three times! Unfortunately, I was the only one around to hear him say it. Since Gavin has been under the weather, he hasn't been eating as well as his normally does. This morning at 3:15am he woke up crying. I ran up the stairs to see what was the matter. I pick him up and try to calm him down, and he lets out a loud MAMA, and continues crying. I think wow, too bad Miranda wasn't here to hear that. I then proceed to check his diaper, and try to get him to go back to sleep. He then says Mama again and continues crying.....like he is trying to tell me that he has no use for me, and he wants his Mama. He may have said it again while I was trying one last time to soothe him with no effect.

I then gave the boy what he so desperately wanted. I took him downstairs to his Mama, so that she could feed him. After the feeding, he was wide awake and wanted to play. He played, and we slept with one eye open for a little while. Then I took him back upstairs and fought with him a bit till he went back to sleep.

Next time I am going to kick Mama out of bed for her own good. :)
