Caroline has a knack for making friends with everybody... she will smile at you, lean her head to the side and give you sweet eyes, reach for you.... just about anything to win you over. So everyone comments on what a happy and sweet baby she is, and she is.... most of the time. But there are some things that really get her diaper in a wad...such as:
1. Riding in her carseat. Sometimes I can distract her with a new toy and she won't mind getting strapped into her seat as much, but usually after about 5 minutes in her seat, she starts screaming her head off. I think she fears that we're driving to Dallas again.. how can I help her understand that we're in the HEB parking lot 3 minutes from our house?!??!
2. Getting her diaper changed.... again, another non-optional frequent activity in her life like the aforementioned carseat. She just doesn't like it and squirms every which way in order to avoid being re-diapered. I'm getting good at putting them on backwards while she's on her tummy.
3. Getting a booger picked out of her nose.... I know, I wouldn't like that either. For this one, she doesn't scream, but rather has some sweet defense moves. It's pretty impressive!
4. Occasionally, she really gets upset when there's a loud noise. Sometimes that loud noise is me on the phone, and I'm learning to tone it down a little ;)
