Vintage Weekend

Hey Sweetie!

We had a nice long weekend because of Labor Day and every time I get to spend a little longer with you I ache because I don't want to have to go back to work when it is over! The weekend started off pretty good. You me and Daddy all went down to the Paseo Arts District and walked around. Mommy Dressed up in her vintage garb and we tried you out on the 1950s Tailor tot stroller! You LOVED it! I had you out and about in it several times over the weekend.





You have also Just entered the Clingy/Separation Anxiety phase, and it is TOUGH on momma and on you! I can't even leave the room to go to the bathroom without you fussing and crying and chasing after me on your hands and knees! You hurt daddy's feelings because you even cry when he tries to hold you and play with you. You only want your Momma! It is sweet that you think so much of me and love me so much, but it is also very tiring because all you want is to be held all day long by me! I am sorry baby, but sometimes I have to let you cry even though it breaks my heart to hear it because I simply must get things done around the house!

Though we had some rough spots this weekend with your anxiety, we also had some really precious wondrous moments that I will never forget. We were outside swinging on the pourch swing and you were drifting off to sleep as I sang songs to you and hummed you our special song (Hush Little Quinn), then you turned toward me and it was evident you were ready to nurse, so I just fed you on the swing outside as we sang, swung and you nursed to sleep. I felt an overwhelming emotion of love and happiness and contentedness all at the same time. I just stared and stared at you and stroked your hair and tried to take it all in because I know these days will soon be over and you will be my big boy. I just want you to know how much I love you and am SO glad you are in my life. I have never felt so fulfilled before having you. You are my world and I hope you always know that.

Lots of Love,
Mama
