Back Breaker

To say C is in "a phase" is putting it mildly. We're not quite sure what's going on but she wants to be picked up ALL the time...and only by mommy. At last weigh-in she was 36 pounds so this is not to be dealt with lightly.


Two current theories on her behavior:
1. she is finally reacting to K's arrival now that he's nearly mobile and very interactive. Her hysterics become much worse when mommy goes anywhere near K.
2. her schedule has been less consistent over the past few weeks. I've been away, then we had visits from both sets of grandparents and this week she started school.

Let's hope this ends soon. The only upside that I can see is that it's a no guilt reason to get a weekly back massage.

  1. 1) I like your positive thinking. 2) Your first theory scares me so I'm hoping it's theory #2.

  2. And I thought 28~29 pounds was heavy!

  3. N is doing the same thing a bit. Wants to be carried a lot and only by me. I am really hoping it is just a phase as well, although we don't even have the explanation of sibling jealousy yet!
