Sweet things!!

Before I write anything I know...3 post in one day- that's unusual!! I am trying to catch up after being gone last week!

Landry has been such a sweetie lately! Ever since we got home from vacation he has not stopped showing Austin or myself affection! I think he really missed us and is a little insecure now after us leaving him-that really makes me feel bad! He HAS NOT let us leave his sight the past few days! When I walk into the garage today to get something or if Austin walked outside to the back yard you would have thought by the way he cried that we were leaving him for good and never coming back! :( Of course he has no concept of time and only knows right now so he probably does think we are leaving him again for several days. It's pitiful yall and it breaks my heart but also makes me feel so good at the same time b/c it tells me he really did miss us while we were gone! I knew he would miss us but I didn't expect this reaction from him when we got home b/c he has NEVER been a clingy baby from birth!! He has always gone to anyone and everyone and could care less whose holding him-that's not the case since Thursday! I am really nervous about going to work my 2 days this week b/c I'm scared he will get really upset when I leave him and I just can't leave him when he's crying and reaching for me-I just can't do it I don't have the heart to I would start crying also! I was told he REALLY took up with Amber(aka Aunt Baleigh pronounce Buh-leigh) while we were gone. Everyone thought it was b/c she reminded him of me the most-so sweet. I do have to say though- he sure does love her even when I am around-I think it's b/c the 2 are inseparable when they are together. They just follow each other around like little puppy dogs but i'm not sure who follows who around the most. They equally are crazy about each other! :)
He has also been doing a new trick when I try to rock him to sleep for his naps. He will be laying on my shoulder and have me thinking he is sounds asleep and then all of a sudden he will raise his head up look at me with those beautiful big blue eyes and smile ear to ear and then put my face in between his hands and kiss me on the lips. As soon as he does this he wiggles out of my arms and gets on the ground and starts playing in his room. So far this new tactic has worked for fighting off afternoon naps. He KNOWS how to tug at my heart and that smile and sweet kiss does the trick every time!! How can I make him go to sleep after he has been so sweet and kissed me like that!!?? How do they get so smart so fast?? And how do they learn how to get what they want at such a young age?? The way I look at it is as long as he is in a good mood I could care less if he takes an afternoon nap b/c I have been trying to get him down to one long nap a day anyways for months and nothing has worked so far-he is still taking 2 naps for the most part. I think we are slowly getting down to one nap though. I am so thankful that he is a good napper-on average his morning nap last anywhere between 2-3 hours. That's good enough for me I have no complaints here unless he is cranky of course and then we try for 2 naps but lately that hasn't been working as he performs his new trick.
