Yep - the Mommy is starting to get a little jealous. :-) This scenario feels oddly familiar... like when we only had Kohl and after we got married, Kohl would ONLY bond with Chris and would snub me. So I said I want my own puppy - and Chris said "No" - but his new wife wore him down easily and no sooner do we move into our new home than we get Molly. Who is Chris' dog through and through (and Kohl came running back to me).
Daddy just can't get enough of his baby boy. Daddy is quite the snuggler and when he sees that Marshall is in the snuggly mood too, he'll swoop in and steal him from the Mommy. Marshall loves his Daddy though. Marshall thinks he is so funny. He just sees Chris and his face lights up. The funniest is when Marshall watches him and Chris doesn't know it. Chris will walk in and out of rooms doing chores (because the Mommy is a bad housekeeper) and then Chris will reappear and Marshall's whole body will just JUMP in delight and anticipation!
Of course, "Dada" is one of Marshall's favorite words (I think he said "Mama" once when he was in his screaming fit but he immediately stuffed his own binky into his mouth so I couldn't tell). Chris says that I should tell the story about how sweet Marshall was at 4 a.m. when he first said "Dada." Chris had just finished rocking him and feeding him and laid him down in his crib, when Marshall sleepily said "Dada."
Now you can see why Daddy's are more fun. They will do whatever it takes to get their babies to stop crying. (NOTE: The Red eyes from fussing with the Mommy - he's smart, he knows when I'm rocking him to sleep for bedtime)
