Tonight, my 1 year and 4 day old baby pathetically cried "Moooommmmyyyy!!!" from her crib a few minutes after I laid her down to go to sleep. Normally, I'll let her cry a little before I go get her. Tonight, 3 "Mommys" was all it took.
Me: Andrew, did you just hear "MOMMY"?
Andrew: Yep.
Me: "MommY", not "Mama"?
Andrew: Yep.
Me: ...I'm just gonna rock her for a few minutes and calm her down.
I rocked her until she was just shy of asleep. Then I came downstairs and reveled in the fact that my baby can say Mommy!!
I don't really believe a baby can be "spoiled" by too much attention, or "too much love" as I call it. I want her to know that when she calls me, I will come.
Now, if only I could get her to call me by my name when she isn't upset...
