Growing Pains

A post with Colorado pics will be up shortly. In the mean time, let's talk about growing pains. Have yall heard that theory that kids get really nutso right before they reach a new stage in development? It's probably just a ridiculous lie that parents tell one another so they won't feel so bad when their kids act like maniacs. But it's the lie du jour at the Lareaus, and we're totally running with it, cause our baby is NOT herself these days.

Exhibit A: She's bonkers. She's so determined not to fall asleep, she actually just leaned forward and passed out today. I watched her (on and off) for 20 minutes as she sat in the crib. I was just grateful she wasn't standing; that's been the norm lately. So anyway, she's sitting there and her head is bobbing and weaving like Baby Ali and she REFUSES to give up. The eyes and drooping and flickering and her torso is listing to the side, and still she won't give in. The next time I came back to check on her, this was the scene.



I rest my case. Bonkers.
