Hold-Me-Itis

Our little princess is spoiled I think. Now, a lot of people have different feelings about child rearing, but I really think my little girl is spoiled. Here's the deal: If she's not sleeping, she wants to be held (most of the time).

We can no longer put her in her bouncy chair or the swing without her crying within 2 minutes. We can't lay her in her pack-and-play to sleep for more than 3 minutes without her waking and crying. The only place she seems to enjoy is her new Jumperoo, which she is still a tad bit too young for, but she still seems to enjoy it... for now.

The part about this that is most concerning is that she prefers to be held by Mommy still. She could be sound asleep over Mommy's shoulder, and the second Daddy takes her, she wakes and begins to cry.

Additionally, she is now rebelling against her bottle. She only has a few days left before Mommy goes back to work a few days a week, so... it appears as if Daddy will be stuck next week teaching her how to "cry it out". Oh joy. Just what Daddy loves. Listening to his beautiful baby girl screaming at the top of her lungs when she just refuses to be soothed by anything.

They keep telling me it's a phase... her preferring Mommy, that is. I sure hope that's true and the it ends in the next few days. Otherwise I'm going to have a difficult week next week.
