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.
