Daddy's Boy vs. Mama's Boy

So Sam doesn't really like me much these days...he only wants his Daddy. He got hurt last night and I thought "ok, now he will want me." Nope...only wanted Daddy to comfort him. In some ways it is sweet to see the close relationship that the are forming BUT it is hard to not take it personally. I almost cried about it last night. He is 2.5 years old going on 10 it seems and I just feel like he is so grown up already and doesn't need me anymore. I am hoping he outgrows this stage soon.
Then there is Levi who screams and cries when I am out of the house (for 1.5 hours for Luke the other night) and only seems to be happy when I am holding him or he can see me. He is without a doubt a Mama's boy! So I am really trying to enjoy this time right now because it won't be too long till he wants to wrestle with Daddy :)

Runs in the Family...

My older sister often does this with her lips. Sam did it when he was a baby, now I caught Levi doing it too. Too cute!

Levi 4 Months

Sam 6 Months

Levi - 4 Months

Levi is 4 months old! He is such a happy, happy baby! He loves to coo and talk to us...he is more talkative than Sam was at this age which, if you know Sam now, is scary! He is a Mama's boy and loves to be held and talked to. He smiles and laughs at us and his big brother. We just transitioned him to his crib and he is only nursing once during the night, still every two hours during the day, and is getting into a nap routine. This boy just lights up our life!
