Daddy-Daughter Time

Lately I have really enjoyed watching Jeremy and Laekin's interaction! Whenever he comes home she usually screams and runs to the door, knocks on the door, and waits for him to come in. She would get jealous if he would kiss me while he was holding her. She would try to push me away... but now we taught her that we can all hug at the same time. She is much more game for that! I love seeing their love for each other and their relationship together. Laekin loves to have horseback rides on Jer's back, she loves to stand on his back, loves his attention, and loves to be pursued or chased by daddy!

Last night she had a difficult time going to bed which is very untypical for her. Jeremy had gotten home shortly before she was ready to go to bed. She was so upset when we put her in bed and just kept crying- so we brought her down and she sat on the couch with us watching American Idol. She was standing on the couch leaning back on Jeremy- trying to get as close as possible. Around 9:30 we decided to try again.... and again no luck. Jeremy took her and laid with her on the bed, she was touching his face, patting him and lying so close to him. Within 15 minutes she was asleep and he scooped her up and put her in her crib. So sweet. I think that she was just needing some extra time and love from daddy.


I love this picture. The moments are few and far between when our busy little girlie will sit still and quietly on our laps.
