Our Drama Queen

As we approach the one month mark, Avery’s true colors are starting to emerge. Overall, she continues to be a sweet, mellow baby, and we are being introduced to hints of smiles and coos everyday. However, now that she is awake more, we are seeing a new side that includes a fiery temper – compliments of her daddy. Avery likes to skip the crying game all together and she gets our attention by letting out one or two ear piercing screams that radiate from her mouth, eyes, nostrils, hair and every other pore on her body.

This can happen on several occasions, but is usual trigged by hunger (she is ready to eat and I am not), boredom (she is in the swing and would prefer to be in a bouncy seat), loneliness (she is in the bouncy seat and would prefer to be in my arms), and most notably a wet diaper (no description needed).

We realize that no one likes to sit around in soiled underpants, but our little pre- Madonna doesn’t even give us 30 seconds to fetch a new diaper. Therefore, we have taken to proactively watching for signs and scooping in immediately with a fresh size 1 Pamper. And if for some reason we are not there quick enough, Avery will definitely let us (and the neighborhood) know.
