Reagan is a complete mama's girl! Now one would assume that this would completely please and excite me..especially since she is still continuously saying dada and rarely mama. However, this stage of life has reached a new level...separation anxiety. Bum bum bum.....
At first this was cute..Mama leaves the room and baby cries. Aww..baby loves Mama. Not anymore. I cannot walk out of her eyesight without a complete alligator tear, red faced fit ensuing. Nice. Do you know how difficult it is to stay within someones eyesight that is 24 inches from the ground..quite difficult really. Of course she loves Ben and they have a great time hanging out together, as long as I'm no where near. They can be playing and having a grand time and she catches a glimpse of me and well...here comes the fit. Once the fit is in full force (about 0.5 seconds into it), there is no solution but for Mama to pick her up and hold her Magically the fit stops even quicker than it began. This has resulted in me carrying Reagan around all day over the weekend which has left me with a sore neck and back covered in Icy Hot and smelling like a rose.
While I bask in the bragging rights that Reagan is a mama's girl, I don't know if my neck and back and Ben's feelings can take much more of this stage. I'm sure other moms have been through this. Any advice?

Words to Live By
The lyrics to this song are speaking volumes to me personally as well as my family right now. I am constantly finding myself singing this song (and truth me told dancing around like a maniac at home singing at the top of my lungs....it speaks that much to me!).
Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name
Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name
Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name
Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name
Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name
Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name
Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
