I’m melting…………………on Friday, as usual, I handed over Owen to Mom after nursing and kissed him goodbye.  As I waved him goodbye, he held my gaze and continue to turn his little head to follow me as I headed toward the door.  Mom exclaimed that he’s starting to want Mommy (me); to test out her theory, she deliberately repositioned Owen so that his back is towards me, but little Owen quickly turned around, doing a 90 degree turn, to look at me.  I was ecstatic because my little angel wants me!!!

I have always known that he recognizes me and according to the book, prefers me, but I have never seen proof of the latter until Friday!  Later during the day, when I was leaving after lunch and after saying goodbye to my little prince and turned around to go, he actually whimpered/cried!  I have such mixed feelings about his new anxiety when I am not around - happy to know that my baby wants and prefers me, but sad that it will make it that much harder to leave every morning now!
