We are turning the corner. While my little guy still seems to prefer Mama when he is tired/hurt/hungry/upset, he has now started reaching for Papa. He calls out "Papa?" in the early morning, when we are in one room and we hear something in another room and as we look out the window. It has the sweetest little cadence--- "Pa-PA?"
Stephen stayed home for 8 weeks when Luna was born and then quit his job to stay home with her full-time when she was 9 months old. Those two are thick--- really thick. He and Tommy have struggled to find their spots with one another. I notice a HUGE difference in their interactions after any length of time together--- vacations and holiday breaks. As Tommy becomes more and more independent, he seems to be happier all the time with "Papa?" and this makes Mama so happy to see her two boys together. (Please excuse the third-person storytelling just this one time.)
