From January 21

So, last night, for the first time I noticed Duncan experience some anxiety when he left my arms and went to those of someone who is a dear friend to me, but a stranger to him. I had mixed emotions. No one wants to see their baby experiencing anxiety, but to see him want me like that made me feel all warm and gooey. I see him want me daily; to pick him up or feed him…basic need type stuff…but this was different. It’s supposed to be a healthy sign and show that he is truly attached to me but it was more than that to me. It was the first indication that we have a unique relationship. That I am different to him than almost anyone else, if not anyone else. I am mom.
