We left Rand with my brother and sister-in-law while we were in Houston looking at houses. He has been my clingiest baby, so I was expecting him to be very excited to see me. It turns out that his affections are cheap - five days of food and snuggles from Angela, and he was over me. When he saw me, he clung to her. When I held him, he cried. When I stayed in the room and she left, he cried. When I tried to feed him, he refused and would only let Angela. When I rubbed his back, he grabbed my hand and pushed it away. Now I'm going to have spend the next week showing him pictures of her and then pinching him.*
*Big shout out to my fantabulous brothers and sisters-in-law for keeping the boys. That house hunting trip with the boys in tow would have ended me. We think we have a house but haven't heard for sure.
**Maybe Rand likes Angela more because she doesn't take pictures of him when he's crying???
