Behavior Changing?

I wonder if Stephen’s absence is effecting Lexi’s behavior. The last couple of days several times when I have done something that has made her mad, she has started calling for Daddy. Like “I’m mad at you, Mom, but Daddy will come rescue me.” And I think she has been calling Jane ‘Mommie’ for the same reasons. In the past, Lexi was always happy to see me when I came home from work. Now, Jane goes to change her clothes and Lexi starts running after her and calling ‘Mommie’. I pick her up but she still struggles for Jane – all the while, calling my name. Makes me a feel a little weird. ;).

Lexi’s vocabulary is increasing – or at least her ability to mimic words quite clearly. She is finally saying Jane’s name – she hadn’t really called her anything before. So I think I will have to watch what I say – to make sure she isn’t picking up the wrong things!
