18 months old!

Holy crap my baby is a year and a half old today! WoW! Well she's 18 months going on terrible 2's because lately the tantrums have been severe. She won't nap at daycare and is uber crab when she gets home. Today was awful for about the first hour after we got home.. then she finally calmed down and we had a decent night but then bed time. Oh bed time is usually wonderful. She gets 2 books, some milk, a little rocking and I lay her down and she goes to sleep on her own.. but the past two nights she's fussed at bed time. Tonight was worse and I think it's because she was just so over tired. Last night though she was up from 10-1am screaming if one of us wasn't in the room. Yay. I do not want to go through another phase like this, I get so little sleep as it is and she was doing so well with her 10/11 hours of sleep at night. Boo. Hopefully this will end soon.. maybe a new tooth will pop out and we'll be back to normal... Maybe. Anyway on to happier stuff. Abi says "wah-wah" for water, up, off, me-me (still not sure what this means) "mo" or "me" for more along with the sign, cheesh, "of" for love, eye, um, and of course mama and dada. She also says Jack, "ack" and Niya, which are two of her friends at daycare. There's more but these are the ones she says the most. I love that she's developing her own little personality more and more. She's so defiant and likes to do the opposite of what we tell her to do.. unless it's something like putting her clothes in her hamper, she loves to do that. But every time I say "lets wash your hands" she immediately sticks her fingers in her mouth! She knows that her hands have something on them I don't want in her mouth which is why we need to wash them, so she does it anyway the little stinker! She's been climbing all over everything and while I love that she can exercise her new freedoms I'm worried about tumbles and injuries. But what mother of a toddler isn't? lol

Homework

Just want to say that cramming homework, studying for a test, a major project and mommy/wife/me time into a single weekend was the worst idea ever. Who needs me time anyway? That homework? Well, it can wait until just before class... right? Hmm... studying for a test and working on a major project due Monday... well... I've got about half of it done... time for a snack! Happy weekend everyone!!
