One Day at a Time

Now that London is two months old things are so  much easier. Were beginning to learn each other and everyday brings a new experience. She is beginning to coo and laugh and becoming more playful and aware of her surroundings. I recently started feeding her rice cereal  which has helped her take  longer naps during the day. Since London really dislikes naps this was a relief for both of us!

However, I have noticed that she has become a little too attached to me. She begins to get very fussy when other people  hold her for too long or when she doesn't see me. Don't get me wrong I love that I am the one that she wants to hold and comfort her but I am worried that this will be an issue when I am returning to work. I really hope she grows out of this soon or leaving her with a babysitter will be a real challenge for us all.

London is not to blame for this attachment. I must admit I have spoiled her. I loved holding her while she napped and as a new mother I did not want to take my eyes off of her. I also hate to hear her cry and London has a way of crying that breaks my heart. But it's time to toughen up and teach her to nap in her crib and not in my arms and that it is okay to let other people care for her too. Any tips on how to do this are greatly appreciated!

Next week London will be three months old. Wow, time is really flying! But I am learning to appreciate all these moments one precious day at a time.
