Motherhood These Days

So, this post isn't a happy, "oh look at my baby" post. It is more of a vent and a post of sadness somewhat. Elleri will soon be 14 months old and she has such an independent nature about her. The last few weeks I have noticed her not necessarily wanting to be with me all too much. I must admit, it is heartbreaking. I ask myself what I did wrong or am I am bad mom but others tell me (much wiser moms than myself) that this is normal and that alot of babies go through "independent stages". They say soon she'll be back to her normal self - wanting to be with mommy or at least acknowledge my existence. I pray for this soon.
