My four month old daughter is going through a phase where she will only behave if I'm holding her. Even her daddy can't console her if she's upset. I can't leave the house for ten minutes to grab a cup of coffee without coming home to a screaming baby. What gives? She used to be great with everybody, even strangers, and now all of a sudden she just wants Mommy ALL THE TIME! Is this normal? Will it end? What can I do about it? The irony is that until recently I was the one with separation anxiety, haha.
new clothes for the girls! This past weekend I spent $350... at an Outlet Mall! I seriously think I have an addiction to buying stuff for them! LOL My husband doesn't even like me going to Walmart by myself anymore because everytime I do, I spend at least $50 on toys, books, and/or toys for them!
I just realized I typed "toys, books, and/or toys" LOL... oh how my mind is slipping. I meant to say and/or clothes!
My name is Christina. I'm 24 years old. I have two gorgeous little girls, and an awesome husband! I'm fortunate enough to be a stay-at-home Mommy, which I LOVE. I couldn't think of anything more rewarding, though I'm not going to lie, I do miss my "grown-up" time! My husband is in the Navy, and well, lets just say the Navy and I have a love, hate relationship! I don't get onto totspot that often, but I hope to meet some through this group! I'll talk to you soon, Ladies!

I can relate! My daughter was a Mama's girl from day one all the way till about a month ago. She'll be 11 months on the first, so it lasted a short time compared to some children. It's totally normal though. I was told by several people that there isn't really much to do other than to wait it out. Though, I did read in a parenting magazine that playing peek-a-boo helps get them comfortable with separation, which is something I did, and still do often.
