Happy Beckett, getting stuck in the Bumbo
Not so happy boy! (We had just gotten out of the shower and I went around the corner for a towel for him. I guess he missed me!)

My Little Clingon!
So, most of you that know us well, know that London is crazy independent. She always has been. Then there is my cute second born, Beckett. Well Matt blames his clinginess on me, beings that I held him ALOT when he was a baby. He was just so squishable! Plus he didn't walk until like 15 months, so I was always carrying him from place to place. Well now he's 19 months and is a complete mama's boy. He follows me around the house ALL DAY saying, "I hold you, Mommy." Seriously, it's getting to the point that he's HYSTERICAL if I even go from the living room to the kitchen without him. I'm going crazy! He does a little better when we're away from home, but when we're here, he never leaves my side. He won't watch a show unless he's on my lap, and the only time I can get anything done is when he's sleeping. Please tell me this is a phase that will end! Any advice from all you mom's out there?

Jylaire! I am so excited that you found me! Your kids are very cute. It seems like just yesterday I was at your reception.
This is random but just a couple of weeks ago I was listening to one of my old story tapes with my kids (my Mom let me have them) and you and I came on in the middle of the story! We were recording ourselves singing. That was so long ago! I was so bossy too, I don't know how you put up with me :). Do you have contact with Holly B. or anyone from so long ago?
We will have to email to catch up. Mine is becbuff@yahoo.com
Take care, Rebecca
A use to say the exact same thing to me! Boys just have a special bond with their moms. Just like daddies have with their daughters. I love Mamma's Boys!
I don't have any advice for you. My almost 4 year old is going through the same phase! Super frustrating sometimes.
Oh Jylaire,
You are preachin' to the choir, girl!
Levi was the ULTIMATE clingon. It was ridiculous how much he cried for me. It took a really long time to get him to give me a break now and then. But one thing I did do that worked was that I wouldn't pick him up unless he quit crying. He used to wake up from his naps and need to be held for like an HOUR until he was "awake" and didn't need me anymore. I couldn't do it! So I decided that when he woke up grumpy, I'd go about my business, let him scream bloody murder and hang on my leg. I'd calmly (very hard to do) remind him that I would hold him as soon as he stopped crying. It took three days. And then he magically stopped and just working on that ONE issue helped with ALL THE REST of the clingy issues. If you try it, you'll have to let me know.
I have a feeling Lauren is going to be that kid. She is sooooooo attached to me! Granted she is not even 6 months old, but I still think she will be like that. She's way more attached than the other 2 were at her age!
My middle child, Shane...same way. And sorry, I don't have any advice because nothing I seemed to try helped at all. He's almost 4 now and finally STARTING to get better. Having him go to preschool and such seemed to help. I used to have to take him kicking and screaming....but, now it's almost a normal experience. So, maybe do a play-date with someone?? It's so hard cause it's sweet that they love you so much but there is a point where you have to get things done and need some space. Pretty much I suffered through it! I'm glad though because I think that I will always have at least one kid that is affectionate and loving to their mommy! I really think Shane will always be that way, it's just his personality to be so affectionate and cuddly.
I agree with staci I think it is boys Jordan is soo bad and I have not done anything different with him then the girls. He just loves me and it is hard to hold he all day being pregnant but he just lays on the ground and cries till I hold him.
Love the not so happy picture....that one's classic!!!
I don't have any advice. I never really had to deal with that. I kinda wish my kids "wanted" their mom more than they did.
enjoy it while you can, before you know it he will be 11 and not want you around anymore, you wont be cool enough.
M is a lot like London. Independent. So I don't have any advice sorry. GOod luck
Is Becket loosing his baby chubb? It looks like in the shower. Make it stop!
I love all the new pictures of the kids...she does look so angelic. How dare you wonder off to get a towel with out the boy!
Ha! How funny! Klingon is exactly what I used to call Britain all the time when he was Becket's age! He didn't walk until he was 15 months either and he was always clinging on to my leg. Although I love him dearly, it drove me crazy to have a little person hanging on me all the time. Britain is, thankfully, over the cling-on stage.
