Daddy's Little Girl

Despite the fact that I slave all day and that every ounce of my being is dedicated to making Marisa happy and comfortable, she is totally a "Daddy's Girl". Even though Tim has been out of town for the past two weeks, Marisa still knows her daddy and wants to spend every waking minute with him.
In fact, every morning Marisa will not go to sleep for her morning nap until daddy is gone. It is so funny because literally the second he shuts the door she is ready. If I try to put her down before he leaves, forget it! Also, whenever I put my arms out to Marisa for her to come to me she doesn't really come to me, only sometimes, but Tim just has to stand near us and she will very happily lunge forward to him. Marisa will also smile anytime daddy even looks at her. She watches his every move and you can see it in her eyes that all she wants to do is be with him. A couple of times Marisa has rolled right next to Tim's stomach and nestled herself right next to him to cuddle. And lately, Marisa will crawl to him no matter where he is in the room and just chill next to him. Today she crawled underneath the coffee table to place her head on his feet and just laid there.

Daddy made her smile during dinner today when she decided to wear her oatmeal cereal on her face. Doesn't that face just say, "I'm daddy's little girl" all over it?!
