Baby Luxe is so clingy !

My one year old daughter is so clingy that I cannot even cook dinner, clean, use the restroom, shower, or do anything just about. I must get things done. I keep her on my hip all day. Otherwise she climbs all over me and clings to my legs crying. She pitches a fit to put her down. Usually this is all the time. Rarely she lets me actually get things done. I give her lots of love and attention. She has always been this way and I thought she would grow out of it. I thought to let her cry. Its hard for me to let her cry because it makes me feel bad, but she never stops. She just continues to cry until i pick her up. Please give me some pointers on how to show him to play alone, or do things alone for just even a little bit at a time. Maybe I could get a load of laundry done or get dinner cooked. Thanks!

My Daughter's Dedication

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for this treasured child of mine. Although you have entrusted her to me, I know he belongs to you. Like Hannah offered Samuel, I dedicate my child to you, Lord. I recognize that she is always in your care.

Help me as a parent, Lord, with my weaknesses and imperfections. Give me strength and godly wisdom to raise this child after your Holy Word. Please supply what I lack. Keep my child walking on the path that leads to eternal life. Help him to overcome the temptations in this world and the sin that would so easily entangle him.

Dear God, send your Holy Spirit daily to lead and guide him. Ever assist him to grow in wisdom and stature, in grace and knowledge, in kindness, compassion and love. May she serve you faithfully with her whole heart devoted to you. May she discover the joy of your presence through daily relationship with your Son, Jesus.

Help me never to hold on too tightly to this child, nor neglect my responsiblities before you as a parent. Lord, let my committment to raise this child for the glory of your name cause his life to forever testify of your faithfulness.

In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen.
