Baby Stella: Separation Anxiety

Stellza Pie,

Im 18 minutes into a workout when my phone rings "Hi, it's us at the Y, your kid won't quit crying". I run down the stairs and not to my surprise you are blubbery and swollen eyed and your perk up the second I reach my arms for you.

I have a love/hate relationship with this phase you are going through. I love it because you always want your Momma and let's be honest, it makes me a little giddy that you love me so much. I hate it because I don't want you to be upset everytime we leave you at church or the gym or anywhere else for that matter.

So tell me. How many snacks do I have to pack to keep you happy for a little run at the gym?

Besides the separation anxiety, you are one funny kid. You make snort noises when you are excited about something. You scream the entire time I'm cooking because "FOR THE LOVE I want food NOW", you get this one from your Daddy, only it's a little more strange that he screams until dinner is ready too. Just kidding Dad.

Once you started walking you decided you should just run. This has resulted in a few more bumps and bruises than I prefer but hey, if it gets you from A to B.

You are very hot tempered. Little things make you mad and I'm learning to let them make you mad. You can't always get what you want, unless you are cuddling your Daddy. I'm pretty sure he would buy you 5 ponies if you asked nicely.
