It was Bound to Happen

well...it was gonna happen. I've been terrible about writing anything. So....I'm thinking that I'll take a leave of absence during the summer or maybe just write a couple times a month, because we are just so busy during the summer.

What's New:
-Abrisa dances non-stop! It must be something that babies just know how to do. They must be born with the will to dance or the want to bust a move. I used to sing or listen to music and dance with her when she was a tiny little thing, but it would mostly be soft swaying, so they have to be born with it. We have a radio that goes throughout our house (in each room) and right when you turn it on she starts dancing. She has several moves. One is kind of like the sprinkler. She will move one arm from side to side as she is holding it straight out in front of her and also shaking her head (like she is saying no) at the same time. This one is my favorite. She will also just bend her knees and bounce to the music. Another dance move she will do is just a simple tap of the foot. She is a great dancer. When Shaff's phone rings she starts dancing immediately. It must be her favorite song.
-When my mom comes over and then leaves Abrisa will cry her eyes out. I'm like HELLO, I birthed you!!! She loves her gramama.
-She likes to throw a good temper tantrum several times a day. Just out of the blue, she'll just throw her body back and start crying. If I take something away from her or she runs out of milk or snacks ....or whatever. She'll look at me and throw her body on the ground, blind and backwards. I feel like she is thinking, "here you go mom, you chose this. i didn't want to get upset, but i'll hurt my own self because of what you did. i'll show you. i'll hurt myself and then you'll feel terrible for what you've done". Surely she's not thinking this.
-She wants to be outside at all times. When we come inside, she cries like a crazy!
