Tantrums, teeth, and more...

Wow, haven't been on here to catch up in a while! We have been busy, busy. Labor Day weekend we celebrated with friends and family back in Pearl City. It was so good to catch up with my high school girlfriends and their significant others! This past week was Reese's first week in the toddler room. Not only is she not with her mommy anymore, but she also has to sleep on a sleeping bag at nap (as opposed to a crib.) Tuesday and Wednesday were a little rough. The teacher said she was pretty whiny and stood by the door a lot looking for me. Thursday and Friday were MUCH better. Not one tear was shed and she was a happy girl. She adjusted much quicker than I thought. She is also napping wonderfully on her sleeping bag (about 1 hour 45 min on average), MUCH longer than I ever thought! :)
Since moving to the toddler room, Reese's tantrums have become very exaggerated and they are mostly with me. She will throw her body to the floor and act like the world is ending, all for a diaper change! I think she is taking out her frustrations of not being with me everyday. I didn't know a 1 year old could throw such a tantrum!! I think I am really in for it when she hits her "terrible twos". Must be karma calling for all the tantrums I threw as a kid, right Mom? :)
She is also getting one of her molars, which is causing her a little bit of pain. Nothing a little tylenol can't help though.
We headed to Freeport yesterday for family pictures with Kyle's family. We had Nancy Barker (NmBPhotography) out of Freeport do the pictures. She was GREAT! Below is the sneak peek we have gotten, I can't wait to see the rest! We also headed to the Lena Fall Festival in the late afternoon and met up with my parents as well. I think Reese had a great time, before diving head first into the duck pond! Gross carny water all over her body. Let's just say a bath was needed after that.
Today is a day of relaxation and joy as the Bears kicked some butt against the Falcons. I am busy making some homemade salsa as we speak and hope to get outside this afternoon and enjoy this gorgeous day!!
