Is Jekyll and Hyde just a phase?

I will start this post by saying "Lauren, I love you dearly, but...."

Man this kid is moody! I don't understand. One second she is delightful, fun, funny, sweet and happy and the next she is a screaming, kicking, nasty mess! Anything can set her off. I could ask if she would rather blue or red and she throws herself on the ground screaming. What The F*%$?!

With Brier beginning to be a bit more mobile, Lauren is constantly saying "No Baby!" "Mine" etc. Apparently  a year and a half at daycare has not given her the sharing skills I had hoped.

In the car, Brier reaches her little hand out - but can not actually touch Lauren in her seat - and Lauren will lose it! Kicking, screaming, crying. SHE CAN'T EVEN TOUCH YOU!! Deep breaths mommy.

This is all normal 2 year old behaviour right? Tell me this is normal and only a phase. Mommy's going to lose her mind! Then there will be two of us crying and screaming on the floor.

She's on the move!

Brier turned 10 months old this week and finally learned to crawl! (video to follow) She is still somewhat tentative about it - probably because she nearly gets run over by her oblivious tornado-like sister - but she is really getting the technique down.

She has two center lower teeth, and her two upper 'fang' teeth, and this week she's working on the upper middles. She is having a hard time with these ones, the left side of her sweet little face is a bit swollen and she is grinding her teeth/gums. I've ordered an amber teething necklace for her to wear to help with the discomfort, but we'll see if that really works.

She is off formula now and is drinking homo milk. I need to get more meet into her diet to make sure she is getting enough iron.

Finally, she is still as sweet and adorable as ever! Just look at that face!
