My little clingy one

Today Ella was not her usual self. I think that it may have had something to do with the foods she ate yesterday, which of course, were are large variety of milk-based products: yo-baby, cottage cheese, cheese sandwich, etc... I hope that she doesn't end up being allergic to milk like Jared. Anyways, the only good thing about Ella not feeling like herself is that she gets more needy and clingy. She wants to cuddle and snuggle and I can't get enough of it. Today Jared was commenting, "I can't believe she is actually a separate little person" and "I can't stop staring at her, she's just so beautiful." I could agree, of course, after carrying her for 9 months, nursing, and staying home with her for that first year, it is hard sometimes to see her as not me. Today was nice, she went into the bedroom and said "tee" which usually means she wants to watch TV on our bed. But this time, she wanted to go to sleep. So I slept with her for her second nap of the day and loved it. There are benfits for me when she's not feeling well. I get to remember how nice it feels to be sleeping next to that beauty and knowing there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be.
