Daddy

Anna has Daddy on the brain just about all the time lately. And I think the image of her lower jaw jutting forward (her four bottom teeth so visible) as she says the final syllable of his name will forever stay with me from these days.

Some sound bytes just from today, but really, from every day:

Me: Anna, are you hungry?
Anna: Daddy.

Me: Should we change your diaper?
Anna: Daddy.

Me: Good morning, baby love!
Anna: Daddy.

Me: I love you, Annabelle.
Anna: Daddy.

Anna, bawling because Daddy is leaving: Daddy, Daddy, Daddy...
Me: Daddy will be back soon. Want to play in Noah's room?
Anna: Daddy.

Me: Anna, are you ready for a nap?
Anna: Daddy.

And just to make a liar out of me right now, Anna is sitting and playing among her toys beside my chair chanting, "Mama, mama. Mama, mama."

Seriously, though, it's 80/20 Daddy to Mama on a regular basis. Not complainin', just sayin'.

  5. She hasn't given Memaw a go yet, but she has thrown out a couple Papa variations when she looks at pictures. :)
