The Terrible Twelve Month Tanrums

My recent blog posts have been mostly pictures and a lack of "content."  You see, my child has just been awful for the last week!  Between the spastic tantrums over having the remote, computer, cell phone, and digital camera taken out of her hands and the demonic teeth breaking through her gums, I have been trying to find my sanity.

The first few times she would stick her bottom lip out and let out one of those fake cries when I took the above mentioned items away from her, I thought it was just a temporary upset.  OHHHH No.  Every.Single.Time she has stuff taken away, it's a full blown tantrum.  Her new favorite game is to throw her paci and toys out of her PNP or crib repeatedly and then scream until Jason or I pick them up and put them back in there for her to throw out and on to the floor again.  The same goes with her sippy cup and snacks on the high chair tray.  It drives me crazy.

We are also working on tooth #3 and #4 (the top two front teeth).  Her gums are sore, red, and swollen.  She doesn't want to eat much because it hurts, so then she's hungry AND in pain.  Last night she was climbing the walls!  She was crying and screaming like I've never heard from her before.  I was almost in tears myself.

Luckily there is light at the end of the tunnel.  Elise has her 12 month check up this afternoon, so hopefully Dr. Walsh can give her me some Prozac.
