Attachment and bonding are things you think about all the time and "do" when you bring your child home. It's obviously very important and sometimes I think I worry about it more than I should; you know I think do my kids know I am Mom and etc.
As I look back on our fist months when we brought EJ home at 9 months old I can see clearly where she was confused, but also know that is totally not an issue now. With Mighty Mo only being home for almost 5 months now this is something I think about and work on especially since returning to work FT.
On Sunday we were at my parents for lunch. This is where EJ and Mo spend at least 2 full days a week in their Grandma's care. My Mom was holding Mo and I came close to them and he immediately leaned towards me and put his arms out. Talk about melt your heart and proof he knows his Mommy. It was such a great moment!
Every day I thank thee Father for the blessing of my family and for these two precious angels I get to care for every day and tuck in every night. I am thankful for every minute I spend with them Lord, and pray I follow your lead in their lives.

I will NEVER forget that moment when Alex reached for me for the first time. I broke down bawling for about an hour. :) It was such a good cry - and I realized how I had been basically holding my breath - hoping that he would bond and attach.
