Grumpy Pants

Boo has been going through a bit of a grumpy phase lately. Or maybe it's a I'm-discovering-what-I-like-and-don't-like-and-you-people-make-me-do-a-lot-of-stuff-I-don't-want-to-do phase. :)

She certainly has an independent streak starting to show! I think another part of the problem is that at this age Bug knew lots of sign language and was able to communicate with us more. For some reason Boo won't do it and, thus, isn't able to tell us what she wants.

So throughout each day we swing from happy giggles to grumpy squeals of unpleasantness. She also has a fussy time from about 7:00-8:00 at night. She goes to bed at 8:15 so I'm sure she is just tired, but it is hard to stay patient. :P If we are at home and all playing in the living room (on the floor) she is usually okay but if we are out and about she gets fussy.

7:00pm - The grumpies begin.

7:10pm -Mommy sits down in the chair and not on the floor like Boo wants.

7:11pm - Boo crawls over. Wants up. Gets up.

7:12pm - Wants down. Fusses when put down.

7:13pm - Wants back up.

7:14pm - Sister sympathizes.

7:15pm - Sister starts hamming it up for the camera.

7:18pm - Distraction by Daddy. Sister still hamming it up.

7:25pm - Boo wants back up.
7:28pm - Mommy gets tired of the fussing. Picks Boo up.
7:30pm - Boo snuggles for mere seconds. Fusses to get back down.

7:32pm - Boo gets put down. Fusses to get back up.

7:40pm - Mommy has been ignoring fussing for a full 8 minutes. Time to exercise those lungs and see if that accomplishes what we want.

7:50pm - Have entertained ourselves for 10 minutes after being scolded for yelling. Mommy gives in and asks if Boo is ready to eat (nurse).

7:51pm - Happy Girl.

Some nights are better than others, but I'm definitely ready to put an end to this phase! Thankfully if I sit on the floor it eliminates all the up and down. However that opens a whole other can of worms called "Mommy the jungle gym". And that will be a post for another day. :)
