It's been pretty rough the last couple of weeks. I don't know what happened but one day I had the sweetest baby ever and now all of a sudden I have a crying, screaming, tantrum throwing, cranky baby. Or I guess I should say toddler. She just turned 21 months old and won't be two until September but she is getting a head start on the terrible twos I guess. Makenna waited until her 2nd birthday so I thought we would be fine when we went on our trip because Jordyn wouldn't be quite two yet. Oh, I hope she will be ok. I think she is better with other people though so I think it will be alright with my parents there and seeing so many different things. Well, at least I hope so. I'm kind of worried about it because I can't take her anywhere right now. We went to lunch at In n Out last week and she wanted down and started screaming as soon as we got our food. She is bad at church, the store, restaurants and other people's homes. I want to apologize if anyone has had a bad time because of my screaming baby. I know it can be hard to be around. But no matter how bad she gets sometimes, I love my sweet baby girl so dang much I can't even stand it. I get so mad at myself when I get so frustrated with her. I just think she is so smart and she can't adequately express herself which makes her very frustrated. I really wish I knew what to do with her because what I am doing is not working at all. Someone also asked me if she was teething and my first thought was no because she had gotten all her teeth really fast. But now that I think about her nearing her 2nd birthday, I guess she could be getting her two year molars. I couldn't feel anything but that doesn't mean anything either. That would be lovely if it got better once some teeth broke through but I'm not counting on that. Sometimes it seems like she gets mad at me when I leave to go to work because she is extra bad on my days off. It's like she is getting back at me. And I guess she is worse for me than for Travis which ticks me off because what the heck is that about??? I've tried time outs. I've tried ignoring her. I just don't know what to do that will help because the things that I am doing is not working. All I know is to just love her and hope that it will pass soon.

It always passes. Makenna is so good now that you forget her terrible two's. It is hard but the good times far out weigh the bad times. She throws a fit but then she is playing and jabbering and is being her sweet self again in a matter of minutes. Just ride the wave. We worried about Ken on our last trip and she was fine so stop worrying.
Thank goodness these are just phases, I dont think I can take it for much longer! I was watching Aube throw a tantrum at church yesterday and thought to myself that I can't believe I'm thinking of having ANOTHER kid any time soon...am I crazy? lol. I guess when we look back at the first kiddos, it was a short little rough patch...hopefully it's the same for the 2nds!!
Ya Gracee has been the same wy for a few weeks. She isn't even 18 months and she only has 4 front teeth but she has already cut her top molars and now i can see the bottoms, it's great fun around here too!Good luck
I wish I had some pointers! It has been so long... I better get reacquainted with the terrible twos, time sure flies and before you know it I'll have one in that phase myself!
