Brat

I would never call my baby a brat, but she certainly acts like one sometimes. She has a strong personality and is very sweet and fun to play with. But, if I don't let her have something that she wants she cries. loudly. This cry is different from the cry of hunger or pain. This is an annoying little bratty kid cry. Like the one that you see big kids doing at the grocery store when their moms say 'no' to the candy. It is kinda endearing though because she is showing so many signs of Independence and is able to express her wants now and not just her needs.
We have been working on switching from two naps a day to only one and this has made certain times of the day really trying. I am now second guessing the choice to do that. She was pretty consistent for a long time but the past month she has been constantly skipping naps which is not good for any of us! So, we decided that maybe one good nap would be better than two inconsistant naps. Ross is good about reassuring me that we made the right decision, but the adjustment is hard sometimes. She is the greatest baby in the world though because it still hasn't effected her ability to sleep through the night. We are SOOOOO LUCKY!
