Let me rewind, Matt went to work this morning and won't be returning home until the wee hours of Sunday morning. Not a big deal, I'm used to spending nights alone.
Kate was a gem, for about 1 hour of the day, the rest of the day she was upset or frustrated, or screaming throwing a fit. What happened to my happy sweet child? Apparently she didn't want her mother today. After trying to feed her three different things for dinner, which she refused to eat, I decided to throw in the towel and get her ready for bed early. Her bath was about the only thing she enjoyed and as soon as she came out the screaming resumed.
At this point she has been asleep for an hour and now I can hear her talking in her crib, someone shoot me! For verification that my child has this "side" to her, here are the pictures to prove it.
And even though days like this make me wonder if I can really handle a bundle of children, I of course still adore Kate and am always happy to have her whether she's happy to have me or not.
She refused to let me put the tray on her highchair. She tried to do anything other than eat, here is her sucking on the arm of the highchair.
Trying to pet Duke.
At last I got the tray on with option #2 for dinner and she started crying. It's hard to be 9 months old.
And here she is after waking up from what turned out to be a 6pm nap. At least she appears to be happy for the moment.

Aren't days like this so frustrating?!?!?! The thing I find funny is that you have a bib on Kate that says, "I Love Mommy". I do the same things. On days when Kaiya is a real pill, I always put this one shirt on her that says the same thing. It's the only thing that reminds me that regardless of her rotten attitude, I know there is love in there somewhere. At any rate - it makes me not want to throw her out of the window so easily.
Sorry to hear about your crazy day. Hope tomorrow brings nothing but smiles and kisses.
I'm sorry about the frustrating day. I think the hardest thing about them is we usually have to deal with them alone since the husbands are gone at work all day. The best part about those days is being able to go to bed and starting over the next morning. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Oh Amanda, I'm sorry you had one of those days. At least Kate's an angel every other day... and today you have every right to tell Matt that he has baby duty. Good luck!
Amanda, I love reading your blog. You have such a cute family! I can't believe you're raising two dogs AND a little girl! All that barrel racing got you ready, I'm sure.
I'm having that day right now...
I was up with Henry, put him back down and then Eliza woke up... barf. I'm so tired.
At least down the road when you have a bundle of children, they'll be at different stages. I think if I had multiples, I'd never recover :)
