Try to enjoy it while it lasts. Soon enough it will be "MAMAMAMAMMAMAMAMMAMAMAMAMAMA!!!!!!!!" I'm at the point where I hear phantom cries for mama.
Can someone explain to me why both of my children MUST sit on me at exactly the same time, wiggling and pushing and pulling hair and crying, but this never happens to their father?
yup. over the weekend big sis was on my lap and little bro came over and pushed her off while saying "my mama." that was fun.
YES! And heaven help the cats if they even look like they're thinking about sitting on my lap while the kids are awake.
My stubborn baby refuses to say Momma. Her first word was dog, followed by Dah-de. I know she's not *supposed* to have two word sentences until she's closer to 2, but I swear, she quite clearly says "Hi, Dah-de!" Yesterday she added car and eat to her vocabulary, but STILL WON'T SAY MOMMA!!

lol! Right now my name is "EEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" It's sort of like the most annoying sound in the world from Dumb and Dumber.
so DD has ALWAYS been a mommy's girl. A strong mommy girl. She will be 5 next week. All of a sudden she is wanting Daddy more often. Friends told me this would happen around this age. It is making me SAD. I should be happy to get a break but she is all or nothing and it's hard to go from all to nothing. I have my fingers crossed it's just a stage.
LOL 2curlydogs it's my mom's ringtone too for both me and my brother! I posted the Family Guy GIF on MMM the other day since I felt like that was my entire weekend. Ugh.
I'm about to cry with all of you saying that it's going to just get worse until they hit 6. DS turns 3 in 2.5 weeks and I want to run for the hills most days.
I have also had several other parents tell me that time around birthdays is the hardest (worst behavior) and half birthdays are the best. I keep holding on to the fact that we're nearing the low and things are bound to get better for a bit and I'll like my kid again.

Soooooo...everyone's telling me I should just enjoy my 14-month-old right now, yes?
StrawberryBlondie, there is. Ours was brief though, I hope yours is too.
MrsAxilla, our DDs are close in age and my DD's first word was dog too! All thanks to living with the ILs and their dog. She does say dada more than mama too, but the "d" sound is easier for most kids to make so that's why.

Oh, blah blah. That's what the pedi said, too, but I KNOW she's just fucking with me. DH will say "Say Mommy! Mommy mommy mommy!" And she'll say "Dah-dee!!" Punk.
Last night, Sassy wanted a family hug and so MH and I were hugging her and she said, "oh mommy I love you MORE."
My poor H. She's old enough that she's realized he wants her to love him equally, and she usually seems to try to make sure she doesn't hurt his feelings. But it was like she just couldn't hold it in and burst out with it.
4 hasn't been that bad with Scarlett. But I remember it being brutal with Jackson. She does have attitude though. Jackson was talking about their elves last night and he said something about their magic (she's very skeptical of them) and she said, "GOD!" And rolled her eyes at him.
I'm convinced my 4yo is going to ruin Santa for my 8yo.
The first few months of 4 were so rough with C, and then it was like a switch. Around mid/late October we could finally just talk with him a bit and it wasn't the insane emotional roller-coaster every hour or so. His negotiation skills are ramping up (especially at bedtime), but the sweet little boy I remembered showed up again.
I forgot to mention this earlier when it was more relevant, but when we sit for Thanksgiving dinner my dad usually handles the toast. This year C took over, he ordered everyone to grab hands and he sang "Happy Birthday to Thanksgiving" completely spontaneously. It was pretty nifty (even if it reminded us a bit of the Pledge in National Lampoons)

My DS went through a phase just before I had the baby where he would constantly be like "I love you more than I love daddy!!!!" when my H was in earshot. It was kind of cute. He would always add "I love daddy.....I just love you....more."

DD has expressed clearly that she does not want to visit Santa, see him, sit on his lap - nothing. We've barely gotten her in the same room with him since she was 3 months old.
DH's uncle is principal of a Catholic elementary school that is having a breakfast with Santa on Sunday. I declined the invitation a few weeks ago because DD said she didn't want to go, and I didn't want to force the issue. Well, then DH asked her again last night and she started bouncing around saying, "Yeah - I sit on his lap. I so excited!"
Should be interesting.
When I picked her up from daycare last night, one of the teachers had her phone on speaker, and was playing a message from Santa. I have never seen kids so excited - it was adorable.
