Everybody just wants to be held..

Yesterday Shelby Claire was having a day where she really just wanted to be held. As in, she wouldn't let me put her down for even a second or she would cry her little eyes out. It was a day that Audrey spent 4 hours of at MDO so that made it a little easier to oblige her. Audrey wasn't there the entire day though and when she overheard me say to Shelby Claire, "Awww..you just want to be held by your Mommy today!", she responded with, "I want to be held by my Mommy!!". So.... I did! I'm going to have some major arm muscles one day!

I know Shelby Claire looks pitiful in the top picture. She does actually like the Baby Bjorn (Audrey loved it!) when she is facing forward. She's technically still too small to face forward but desperate times call for desperate measures!

Audreyism:
Later that night, Audrey was picking up a mess of diapers that she had knocked off my bed. I saw her go into my room so I called to her and asked her what she was doing. She explained that she was cleaning up the mess she made "with her foot". I praised her and told her to come to me when she was done. I then told her that "I couldn't possibly love her anymore," meaning that I loved her more than anything. She looked at me and said, "MOMMY!?! YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE!?!" and took off to the kitchen to tell Clay that Mommy said she didn't love her!!! I laughed and laughed and finally got her to come back to me so I could explain what I meant! She's so much fun!
