Dad

In recent months Noelle has become quite attached to her dad.  She still doesn't want mom to leave the picture, but she prefers to have mom and dad around whenever possible.  During the day she will hear a car, or see someone walk by with a backpack, or just remember something and start saying "Daddy!  Daddy!".

She loves helping Dad too.  In the morning she always remembers to check if he's wearing glasses, and if he isn't she will go get them.  She will also hand him anything else he's left on the nightstand (phone, wallet, water bottle, etc).


Sometimes in the morning if mom is getting ready dad and Noelle will get cozy (or "co-eeez" in Noelle speak) on the couch.  She will sit on his lap and dad will wrap her fuzzy blanket around her and they will just be cozy for a minute.  A minute is about as long as Noelle wants to be still while awake :)


We are working on teaching Noelle how to say "love".  Right now it's more like "wuv", but it's pretty cute.  Sometimes when we say, "Noelle, say 'love'" she will say "Dad!".  Sometimes dad tries to make mom feel happy by telling Noelle "say 'love mom'", but often when she does it comes out "love daddy!".  It's pretty cute.
