Laurel's been teething over the past few weeks, and while she's cute as ever, she's been really clingy. I called home this morning to see how she was doing, and Jon said that whenever he tried to leave the room she would raise up her arms. What's a daddy to do?

Not that either of us mind spending 24-7 with her. Though it does make you wonder whether we should be making her spend more time playing alone. I'm sure there is some study out there about the importance of independant play. But I say a happy baby who knows mommy and daddy will do anything for her is even more important.
