Especially by the cutest baby ever. But it can be frustrating when you&#8217;re the <i>only<\/i> one the cutest baby loves. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, he still coos and smiles and flirts with Adam. But the Doodlebug has a clear preference for me. When Adam&#8217;s holding him, the Doodlebug&#8217;s looking for me. When the Doodlebug starts his regular evening scream (and it is regular now, o joy of joys), Adam can try for over an hour to quiet him. He rocks, he gives him a finger to suck on, he paces, he rubs. Nada. Then, within one minute of transferring the Doodlebug to my arms, silence. As long as I&#8217;m holding the Doodlebug, all is quiet (I can&#8217;t, of course, put him down; that would never work. In fact, even now, once again, I&#8217;m bloggin&#8217; with the Doodlebug asleep on my lap). I&#8217;m torn between feeling happy that my Doodlebug wants me and miserable because no one is able to regularly put him to sleep, which means I&#8217;ll be more reluctant to leave him. Naps are bad, too: He&#8217;ll only sleep if we&#8217;re out of the house (there are only so many errands I can do) or if I lay down with him. You know, in the beginning, I <i>swore<\/i> I&#8217;d never let <i>my<\/i> child cry it out.
