Middle of the week

Yesterday I took Landon to the Pediatrician because he has been pulling his ears and not sleeping good. I also thought all these temper tantrums may be him not feeling good. The good news is no ear infection and he gained two pounds! Now up to 22 pounds which is still low on the percentile chart but he is gaining weight. The not so "great" news the Dr. laughed and said welcome to the terrible twos they start in full force around 18 months. I was thinking great this is going to get even worse! He had already thrown about five tantrums in the Dr's office already. No one ever told me before he was born that small tantrums would start around ten months old and they just blow up from there especially when he is told "no". Throwing food while eating is a favorite of Landon's at the moment, which has been getting old & occasionally holding a straight face while telling him that is not appropriate(don't worry I uses more kid friendly words). Even through the temper tantrums and food throwing I am still finding a sense of humor, because even in the middle of all this he is so stinkin cute& the fact that this is normal developmental behavior.
