Lucas Loves His Daddy

This morning, for the first time, Lucas cried when his dad left for work. We did the ceremonial good-bye hug, kiss and wave, and after Daniel shut the door behind him Lucas started wailing -- the same kind of tantrum-ish cry he does when we take something away from him that he really wants (e.g., power cords).

I thought maybe he was tired and that it was just coincidence that Lucas started crying when Daniel left for work, but when Daniel got home tonight around 9 p.m., Lucas woke up elated to see his father. And he screams every time Daniel leaves the room. If I go in to calm him, Lucas looks over my shoulder expectantly watching the door for Daniel's re-entrance. It's after 10:30 and Lucas still hasn't gone back to sleep.

Guess we're entering the separation anxiety stage. So glad I'm not the one leaving for work anymore!

Team Edward?

The lady at the hardware store started giggling and making a fuss over Lucas today. He's a friendly kid and smiles at everyone, so he usually gets that kind of reaction from strangers. I didn't pay much attention to what he was doing until she called her husband over to show him the baby's "fangs." Either his teething is getting out of control or we've got a major Twilight fan in the house.
