Cooper follows Charlotte around all day long. Anywhere she goes, he is right behind. He is also in the stage of stealing toys from, well, anyone who has anything, but mostly from Charlotte. Charlotte is in a stage of, no it's mine, you can't have it and if you take it I will yell, kick, and cry giant alligator tears. She also FREAKS out any time Cooper touches her. And you know, he has that whole, let me eat you thing going on (now with sound effects included). The yelling starts and she always manages to give Cooper a good swat on the head for touching her.
Bath time is fun with trying to teach them to share toys and not sit too close together. Most of the day we just let them do their thing and work it out, but the incessant tantrums because of touching and toy stealing can really wear on our nerves. So we try to teach sharing and being nice. Um, yeah, they're 8 months old and 12 months old...it's not working.
And Cooper just got his fifth tooth...his other four are barely in. I also see his gums are swollen for the 6th, 7th and 8th teeth. Charlotte's gums are swollen for her first molars. The teething makes them more cranky and us more tired.
Ahh, the joys of parenting, right?
