Piper's New Trick

Back before Piper was even 5 months old, she developed an ability to scream every time I pulled a camera out. She seemed to outgrow that problem, and became quite the flirt whenever she saw a camera. Now I think that Piper is our most photogenic baby. That being said, Piper has recently learned a new trick -- temper tantrums. It reminds me of those days way back when. Anyway, so far we are "treating" the temper tantrums by ignoring her (well, except for when I take pictures of her -- I just can't resist).

This past weekend, I managed to capture Piper having a temper tantrum on three separate occasions. The first was at Aldridge Gardens. Gary took off her dress to check for ants, and she apparently didn't want it back on. We actually had to walk off and give her a few moments to work things out. . . .




Next, she had a temper tantrum when we left Cracker Barrel. I don't think that she really wanted to stay at Cracker Barrel, but maybe she liked those pancakes more than I had thought.




Finally, she had another temper tantrum at home when I put up the markers and coloring books. She was barely using the coloring books, but apparently she wanted them pretty badly.



I guess we really are getting close to 2.
