Big Girl Syndrome

We have a problem at our house. We call it the Big Girl Syndrome. Now that Addie can crawl and pull herself up and stand she thinks she is independent and is a "Big Girl." This means she refuses baby food of any sort. She also will generally not allow you to put anything in her mouth. If she is going to eat something it is going to pass through her hands for inspection first. In addition, being held is only a means of getting somewhere quicker. If the intention of holding is to confine her then she screams enough to make people give you dirty looks at the grocery store. Naps are also considered optional in her mind. And big girls must like playing in the kitchen because that is her new favorite hang out spot. Happy 9 months to our little "Big Girl!"
