Why is Daphne so angry? She has become the mighty yelling baby. She yells at me if I hold her, she yells at me if I put her down, she yells and yells and yells. She even yells at her toys. Is there anything I can do to make this baby happy? I think this must be a phase she is going through. She isn稚 crying, she is yelling. Hopefully this will pass soon.
I keep thinking that she is going to figure out how to crawl forward. She gets around pretty good crawling backward. If I turn my back on her while she is on the floor she will have moved a foot or two. I saw a baby who looked like he was a month or two ahead of her (hard to tell since she is so biiig). Anyway, he looked like a gorilla when he crawled. He got up on his toes and moved himself forward with his fists. Very funny. I think that is how Daphne will start. She spends a lot of time arching her back up on her fists and toes. She can also move from side to side and turn herself around and roll several times in a row. I am just waiting for that forward motion.
I think that I need Jack to start blocking certain television stations on our TV. I am sick and tired of being upset by what I see on the news. In fact I think that all first year parents should refrain from watching any news at all. Everything is just so negative and SCARY. I don稚 want to watch any more blips about the War in Iraq or about horrible horrible child abuse or about some kids who decided to haze other kids in school. I also don稚 want 兎xperts� telling me that my baby will be brain damaged if I let her watch TV. I am feeling very defensive about that one this morning.
I guess that is all. I am going to go play with the Dapher now. We are going to stack some blocks this morning.
