This weekend went by so fast that I really don't remember how it started! We were at the beach on Saturday with some friends and family. Baby J had a friend to play with even though Baby B is only four months old...they were still smiling and talking to each other! At the house we were in we set up a baby pool so the kids could relax in the heat... I know Baby J really liked it! The thing that shocked me the most was that when we brought Baby J to the beach, he loved it! We stuck his feet and legs in the ocean and this kid could not get enough! He wanted to keep walking farther out into the water but I held him back.
We took a nice walk on the beach where we found some shells and sea glass as well as some sea creatures! My brother was there on Saturday morning so when we took a walk on the beach with him he had found a small black fiddler crab. He held it up to Baby J and as it scurried around his hand trying to escape, Baby J was trying to touch it with his pointer finger. It amazes me how he is not scared of things like that. I know it was a small crab, but still... it can pinch! Thank goodness it didn't because he would have been pretty upset. We also found some little clams that bury themselves in the sand when the water washes over them. Baby J had some in his hand and tried to eat them. He got quite upset when I took them away from him. He's not allowed to eat shellfish yet!! lol.
I have noticed that the older my little one gets, the more cranky he gets about things. For example, when he has something and finishes it or throws it away, he gets so upset there is no consoling him and he throws a tantrum. Is it possible for a one year old to have temper tantrums like he is in his terrible twos? Just figured I would ask. He also does this if we are sitting on the couch and I put him in his crib, pack and play, or walker when I have to do something. He just wants things his way and when he doesn't get it he gets mad.... oh well, the most I can and have been doing is trying to correct him when he is in the wrong but it doesn't really work out the way I was hoping it would.
Till next time!
Much love,
-J
