Clingy

Yesterday afternoon when I pulled up to my dad's house, this was the site I saw.

Not only was I thinking how much I loved seeing Liam bond with his Uncle J.C., but I also thought that this was a good sign Liam was outside playing since he was been feeling pretty sick for the past few days.
However when I my dad come out he proceeded to tell me that Liam had been, and I quote, "the biggest pain in the a**" all day. Nice! So after some investigation, I found out that meant he had been crying non-stop, not wanting to be left alone, not wanting to nap unless he was curled up in Grandpa's arms etc. etc.

Yes, this sounded familiar. Not only has Liam been sick but he has also been clingy. In the mornings, he has started to cry when we leave him with the sitters. He is constantly coming up to Keith and I putting his arms up and will throw a fit if we don't pick him up that minute. And then last night as Keith was trying to do some push-ups, I was able to capture this.

We are hoping this is just a little bit of a phase he is going through. I honestly don't mind it because I love picking up and cuddling with the little guy whenever I can. But to my husband's point, we don't want to teach him that he can get whatever he wants out of us by constantly feeding into his needs.

On a side note, since I am sure you are curious, I am day 4 into my new job. Things are going well, but as to be expected, it is all very overwhelming. There is SO much to learn.
Tonight we are going to dinner to celebrate my new job and my J.C.'s new job. My two brothers and myself all got new jobs in the past two months. I would say that is something to be pretty damn proud of!
