98. Attachment

I thought it was coincidence when he cried when I walked away at the pool the other day. I thought Diana was just trying to make me feel guilty when he cried when I walked away. But he cried tonight, and then when I got closer he stopped, and when I walked away he cried again. He doesn't like it when I go away. Yikes. I thought that wasn't supposed to happen for many more months.

Diana came home and conked out. William did too, and I held him. He slept on my chest, and then I rolled him off. He started rooting when he woke up 5 minutes later, and I got Diana to breast feed him. I skipped my sangha meeting to stay at home and help Diana. It's almost 9, and he's asleep. I think he's moving towards the 14 hours he's supposed to sleep, though it's only 13.5 today. Pretty amazing.

He holds his arms back sometimes and leans back from my body when I'm holding him. He seems to point. Like he can direct me. He holds his bottle, and puts it on the side, and chews on it, and groans a little. I think he might be teething. When he plays with his toy, he uses all 4 graspers, 2 hands, 2 feet.
