December 2008

Happy New Year! Hopefully, the year will get better. I think someone snuck into our house and replaced my sweet little girl with a short tempered screaming lunatic. She has some of the worst tantrums (at least 2 a day). She loves to scream for hours and throw whatever is in reach. At first I thought it was her teeth, now I think it's just her frustration on not getting her way. It has been a long month. Jake , of course, has been perfect. He eats, laughs, sleeps and poops. He used to cry when Avery was acting up, but now he just looks at her like she's needs her medication checked!








Apparently, she doesn't like my cooking and decided to do it herself. There are days when I have walked into the kitchen and found almost all my pots on top of the stove.


















We refer to this as the crime scene photo. She had a screaming fit for 3 hours straight in the middle of the night. Then passed out on the floor. This is how I found her in the morning.
















Checking out Kelly's features on her phone.
















"Helping" me wrap presents. I use that word helping loosely.
















Grandma Booth sent this cool hat. She kept smelling it and even made the dog smell it too.























Trip to Santa was interesting. She looked at him like he was some strange man we were forcing her to sit with. She had been saying his name everytime we saw him. But of course, she froze up when the moment came. But he did come over to talk with us and she decided she was going to take his seat when he wasn't using it.




















Santa came over and took Jake right from me. He thought he was cool and was smiling at him. Apparently, Jake is smarter than his sister and knows the power Santa has.




























This would be another wonderful tantrum right before church on xmas eve. It was all because her shoe kept slipping off her heel. Oh boy, we are going to have a long year.














Enjoying Poppy and Grandma's tree. She is surprising gentle with the ornaments.
