My newborn son seems to have taken a liking to me but gets fussy around my wife. Maybe it's because she smells like milk/food so he just has constant expectations, or maybe it's because I "airplane" him around everywhere so I get more fun associations. The pattern developed, even friends would hold him and he'd be fine, but then mom would pick him up and he got fussy again. It got her down pretty bad, she was wondering if something was wrong with her, saying that babies are supposed to be attached to mom.
A couple of days later, he was sitting on her, they had eyes locked, and he laughed for the first time. I caught it on camera at exactly the right time. She's since watched the video 30+ times and it's her new favorite thing.
