Not this girl

How can someone so beautiful...

And so funny...  

And so smart...

And so spunky...

 And so innocent...

 And so sensitive...

Be so mean???

If you think she's being mean to the geese... just wait until you see how mean she is to her brother. And to me. And to Daddy.  We are going through a rather challenging time with little Miss Priss right now.  She's always been our more temperamental one, but she's totally out of control right now.  She's so smart and I keep thinking that I can reason with her to get her to behave, but that's totally not working.  Incentives aren't working.  Time out and spankings aren't working either.  Think I might have to call Super Nanny if we can't get this girl under control. 

We're thinking that a lot of it has to do with sleep deprivation.  She's in school all day now and isn't getting much of a nap.  Plus, Tucker needs a freakishly small amount of sleep to function and he keeps waking the girl up.  We're trying out separate rooms right now to see if it helps. 

I want my sweet girl to look like this all the time...

without giving her everything she wants, the minute she wants it, regardless of how she asks for it, and whether or not it's what's best for her.  Ugh... parenting. 

2 Months

How has it been two months already? Okay, actually it's been almost three... but it's hard to keep up these days.  Rylan is growing and changing like crazy.  She's still sweet, content and super easy... and now she loves to talk and smile. It's fun that's she's interacting with us now, but I totally want her to stop growing!  She's the only one in my house that doesn't argue with me... so right now, she's totally my favorite. Ha!

She went for her two month check-up and was 10lbs, 11 oz (50th percentile) and 24 3/4 inches long (100th percentile).  Never thought there would be a Tims baby in the 100th percentile for anything.

She's beautiful in every way....
