Anna has personality plus! She is a girl of extremes. When she is happy she is the happiest girl in the world. When anything bugs her she can throw a diva fit to rival anyone. Lately we have been trying to work with her through major tantrums that seem to last for hours. It is pretty normal for this age. Between her teeth her desire to assert herself and do what she wants life has been anything but dull. Things that make her happy are:
Grandma
Outside
Cookies
Her pacifier
Her Momma, Dada, or Maddie
Baby Einstein
The stairs
Pulling stuff out of any cupboard
Fruit Snacks
"Gurt" yogurt
Cats or dogs
My phone
The remote
Crayons
Her stroller
outside
Things that make her unhappy are:
Diaper changes
Having hands wiped
Getting Dressed
Getting in her car seat
Having anything she wants taken away
Not getting what she wants when she wants it!
Having her nose wiped
Getting out of the bath
Having to be contained (sacrament pew at church)
Being babysat
scrunchy nose
She is really into pointing at things and trying to communicate what she wants with her finger. You would think this would help me out but sometimes a point at a pantry full of food can be very vague. Also, a point at the TV for Baby Einstein when she has already had a show leads to anger and frustration. I can see the wheels turn as she says I am showing you what I want Momma. She doesn't get the whole it is not always time for that thing.
Life with this sweetie is fun, wonderful, exasperating, and crazy. I would not trade it for all the dark chocolate the world has to offer ;)
She likes to steal my cereal bowl and spoon every morning. She has her own plastic bowl and spoon and her own cereal but obviously mine is better.
This one is not a great pic because of the sun in our eyes but this was taken at Grandpa's 99th birthday party.
