Leah has finally said Mama!! I am so excited that she has spoken the sweet word of love. Of course, she only says it when crying for me. I guess I should be thankful. Of course she's been saying Dada and Dog for over two months now.
I know that in a year or so I'll be wanting for her to forget that she ever learned my name. I now know why my mom always said she was going into the witness relocation program. I here my name way too much with Michelle and Carolyn and even Brian so another one is going to make me consider changing identities!
I love the way Leah says Mama though. Eeee, mmmmaaaa,mmmaaaa, eeeeee, bububububu,spspspspsp. Any mom knows those words, crying through the actual word.
She has started watching me leave the room or even attempt to get up and she starts crying. Talk about manipulation! She wants someone to pick her up, well I should say she wants me to pick her up. The big girls want to but Leah cries every time they do. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the bear hug they hold her with and the josteling they seem to give her as they attempt to find me wherever I am to let me know that Leah wants me. So helpful they are!!!
They still play mommy with their babies and want to be mommies when they get big but they don't like it when Leah cries, hence why they tend to bring her to me. They still have a long way to go!
It is so wonderful to see them as they grow and I am so thankful to God to provide me with this opportunity to stay home with them and I am also thankful to Brian for being willing to let me!
