Daddy’s girl!
You got it. She is all about pleasing her Pa-pa.
Ofcourse, she says pa-pa-pa with great ease and is yet to say ma, let alone ma-ma.
Papa not only can feed/bathe her, he is also so much more fun! Her “bonding” with the dad begins with the naughtiest smile. SHe will then run towards him, climb onto him (no matter how is he standing or sitting) and then roll all over, bend, climb, hug and so on and so forth. Apparently, she is trying to imitate his style of expressing affection (holding her upside down, throwing her up in the air, rolling on the floor).
Rest assured that “mama” is quite happy. It seems like the dogs have started treating me as a person once more. They will sit by me, sleep by me and ask me to protect them when Savi starts to chase them. And as much as she likes her pa-pa, the little one will walk up to me from time to time and give me a gentle hug and a wet kiss (on the nose!).
And this is exactly why I get to go out with friends on a Friday evening while dad takes care of the little one.
It is all sooo good !!

good to see you back
I remember those days too :) the other half was so thrilled that little A would say only ‘pa’. initially it was like… hmmm… i’m your mommy, you know, but there’s always a bright side. when she’d wake up at midnight for a nappy change/feed, she’s go ‘pa’ and i’d wake up A and say, ‘get up, your daughter wants you’ roll over and go right back to sleep.
Moral of the story: teach babies to say ‘pa’, ‘ba’, ‘dada’ first, and catch up on well deserved sleep.
