Changes

I don't know if it started with my idea that Molly needed to be entertained by me 24 hours or that I didn't want Molly to be like me...and that is, I can stay in my house without ever going outside as long as I have enough diet coke. (Yes, diet coke is bad for you but you don't know what I was putting in my body pre-molly) So, from the first moment I could, we went out.

I was not afraid to take her to the stores, we took many walks in the neighborhood, went to the park, went to dinner and went to the movies. Probably even some places that people would say weren't "baby appropriate".

Molly was so good in public, she loved looking around, loved when people talked to her. She was the best. What has changed with my girl? The last couple of days when we have gone out we have experienced something new. She is a ......dare I say.......brat? I need to go to the grocery store this afternoon and I am down right scared. She doesn't want to be carried, she doesn't want to sit in the cart, all she wants to do is crawl. I know she shouldn't be crawling on those gross floors but yesterday in Target I really need to compare car seats and so I let her play on the floor. Oh it's so gross! What happened to create this change? Her age? She isn't even a year old. Is she even allowed to throw a temper? Isn't this reserved for the "terrible two's"?

I have no diet coke so my guess is that I will brave it. Please, please let this be a tiny two day phase and bring back my sweet baby.
