The Terrible twos at one year old...
So I think that on her birthday Ada thought that she was turning two instead of one. She has been grumpy and whinny for no apparent reason. She doesn't look like she has any new teeth coming in... and it's almost like she's decided to be grumpy on purpose. For example... we have 20 some odd cabinets in our house that are unlocked and that she is free to empty and play in to her hearts content... but what does she choose to do? Try to pull open the 2 that I keep locked for her safety and scream that she can't get them open. And where she has never been a picky eater... she is now very choosy in what she will eat and in what order she will eat them... "I know I like green beans... but I won't eat them until you give me peas first, then the beans are okay..." All my friends say that this stage passed for their kids within a week if they just ignored the tantrums and gave them time outs for the inappropriate behavior... I sure hope so because I miss my Ada.

Okay, well don't worry. That is actually a one year old for you. And by the way, she will eat half as much at two as she does at one and even less at three. Then she will pick back up again at four and five (If you are lucky). And the tantrums... I put my babies in their bed or high chair for a time out, and really it works within just a few days. Kids learn what you expect from them pretty quickly.
