Terrible Two's What??

So, it has been 7 months since my last post and our baby girl is officially a toddler!! In the last 4 months there has been significant changes!! She is speaking in sentences and following directions. It is so amazing watching her develop and every milestone seems to happen overnight! Cameron is definitely not an easy child by no means, and according to my mother nor was I! If she is mad she will throw a major fit which sometimes involves hitting and biting! We started to worry, but after some research discovered it comes with the territory. We are not doing anything wrong we just have a bit more of a challenge :) It is difficult because she gets frustrated when she doesn't get her way, so we are working with her one tantrum at a time to teach her coping skills and help her communicate when something is wrong. The teething is almost over which is definitely a good thing. We attribute a lot of her bipolar baby episodes to teething, so we will be grateful it is over.

We survived a trip to Hawaii and Disneyland. We were trying to get all the trips in while she could fly free, but I don't think we will be taking another trip for a while! She had major meltdowns on the plane, but Dramamine came to the rescue!

Cameron may not be an easy child, but her personality will light up a room and put a smile on everyone's face. She is so special and brings us so much joy...whether she is giving us XOXO, begging for her favorite show "Caillou", or raiding cookies and snacks in the pantry...she is our baby girl always and forever.
