Like Cutting Teeth!!!

Ayvri is miserable. She's cutting molars, she's started throwing championship fits, she's tired a lot and can't figure out when a good time to sleep would be, and she's just a little bit ticked off with Mom for all the time I spend feeding Brigham. Needless to say Ayvri's making Mommy a little miserable too. If you want a taste of what she's been like for the last several days go ahead and watch the video - but please turn your speakers down first (hey I warned ya). I really love this girl but I've never handled fits very well. This particular fit started while we were eating lunch with Ksenya and didn't end for another 45 minutes. I left her in the car in the driveway to scream it out because every time I got close to her it only made things worse. She finally fell asleep and I got to cuddle a very warm little doll for a while, which honestly made up for all the screaming (there's a reason God gave me naptime - watching them sleep reminds me why I love them so much).

Oh I am sorry! We've definitely been there! I'm sure she really loves her mommy!

Well, we've all been through that. I remember Kade having a royal fit (we have it on tape) because Justin wouldn't give him his ball. He finally landed on the cold cold ground and literally lost it. We didn't get that part on tape though. But I surely do remember.
There's really nothing you can do but leave them alone until they are calm enough you can "reason" with them. yea right.
love ya, this too will pass

I think you are the only mom I know who would run for the camera at this moment! You are a riot! Someday when you want to give her major guilt for all her mother has done for her keep this video on file!

Oh, Toni. That has got to be exhausting for the whole family. I feel worn out, but I don't have to deal with screaming babies. You're a much better woman that I am. I think that would be the end of my sanity.

That is classic! I love when you ask her if she loves her mom? Hee Hee. So funny! This is classic Audrey. Her and Ayvri must have taken lessons together. Every time Audrey cuts a tooth we go through tantrums. :) So fun! Love you guys
