we're back

while i could be referring to the fact that i'm back posting on this blog, what i'm actually talking about is the fact that we're back to the tantrums.  b is now 10 months old, while k is ... let's see, i have to do some math now ;) ... she's 3 years and 5 months old. 

it's funny because when we had baby b and brought her home to join the family, k was really quite great.  she didn't do too many things to get attention.  she didn't do too much to upset her new sister.  she was pretty pleasant about the whole thing.  for some reason, over the last couple of months, that has all changed.  k pretty much does anything she can to make her sister cry.  she will take toys from her, take her thumb or bottle out of her mouth, push her down while she's holding onto things (the crib, the couch, the coffee table).  what is going on?  where did this all come from?  i would have thought we would have seen this behavior months and months ago.  it's also worth wondering if her behavior is coming from the change in our family schedule this summer.  husband has been doing a lot of traveling while this activity has been occurring - could that have anything to do with her acting out?  probably.  but, it is what it is and there's not much changing it :)

anyway.....

i'm planning on doing some posting to this blog - i'll have to start with some catch up since i have yet to keep baby books for my daughters and this will someday serve as theirs.  sad, huh :)

thanks for reading!
