Our last few days

I must say the last few days have left a lot to be desired.  It all started Thursday night when Alexia woke up at 10:30 screaming her poor little head off.  This was the first time in a very long time that I had to go and get her.  After finally getting her calmed down we sat and rocked.  This I must say was something I have missed.  Looking at her spread out on my lap brought me back to the days when she was so little she fit perfectly in my arms. Now I was looking at this gown up little person whose legs were hanging off my lap and arms were wrapping around me.  After having my emotional little moment I wondered why it seems like we have regressed back to the early days of having to be held all the time and waking up screaming and whining all the time.  So after rocking her back to sleep I attempted to lay her back in the crib, oh no she wasn't having that, just like the old days so back to rocking we went.  Attempt 2=fail. Attempt 3=fail so I sat by her crib and talked with her. She eventually settled down but just sat there. This went on for another 30 minutes until I shifted my position and she freaked. I then took her out of the crib and changed her diaper and she decided it was time for some Disney junior.  We watched one show and then went on with our normal going to bed routine which worked because she went into the crib with no crying and fell asleep.  So since it was after 12:30 by the time she finally went back to sleep I thought she might sleep in a little, boy was I wrong! She was up at 6am screaming at the top of her lungs, just how I wanted to start my day.  My poor little girl is cutting her first molar and it is really messing with her! I just don't know how to help her besides the cuddles, teething tabs, and Tylenol. Our newest issue is riding in the car seat! Man does she loathe that car seat. I have even turned her around so she is facing forward thinking that the change of scenery may help her.  Nope it is now a struggle to get her strapped in :( and the crying that follows is not pleasant.  It seems that these days we are having a little more bad moments then good.  I wouldn't change it for anything! It's those moments where she will just come up to me and give me a hug while patting my back followed by the sweetest little Lexi kiss that makes my heart melt! She is just really turning into her own little person but still having such a hard time expressing her needs without getting incredibly frustrated! And let me say she isn't the only one who is frustrated!
