A few weeks ago I noticed that Kailyn preferred Helen to put her to bed at night. On the one hand I thought, that's great - less work for me. But on the other hand, it made me feel a little left out since I am already at work all day, only get a chance to see the baby for maybe two hours before she has to go to bed and wanted to play with her and catch up on lost time.
I suppose it stands to reason that she would have a closer bond with her mommy, not only because they've hung out together all day, every day for the past seven months, but also because of that whole nine-months-in-the-womb thing.
It's funny because I used to laugh when I'd hear adults complaining about not feeling the love from babies. I'd say, 'C'mon don't take it personally, they're just babies. Lighten up!' But I can now sort of understand what they felt. Kailyn will always be Daddy's Little Girl, but for a while, she was definitely more on Team Mommy.
(For the record, Helen is on Team Jacob.)
