Tantrums, Teeth, and Trees

Our little Nashman has discovered the art of throwing a tantrum.  I'm not sure I realized this would happen so soon...haha.  He is quite dramatic when not allowed to do something he shouldn't, or when he's "yelled" at (come on...stern "no no no's" don't REALLY count as yelling).  The drama includes but is not limited to:  back arching, pounding head with fists, screaming, and pulling hair.  We do our best not to react - although it is a tad hard to conceal our giggles at his antics!  The things Nash gets in trouble for the most:

• crawling up onto the hearth
• racing towards the electrical outlets
• attempting to poke Roscoe in the eyes, pull on his ears, etc
• trash cans, toilets, and Roscoe's water bowls - why are these his favorite things to play with?
• attempting to dump his humidifier
• pulling Daddy's glasses
• pulling Mommy's hair

Our little man now has SEVEN teeth.  The top four are in, and the third just popped through on the bottom. I don't see any signs of the 4th one on the bottom yet, so maybe we'll get a few teething free weeks here soon.  Seeing his cute little chompers is fun - but it makes me miss my little baby's gummy smiles!

Our Christmas tree is officially up...and we're not sure what Nash thinks about it.  We put it up for a day without lights or anything so he could get used to it, and he didn't touch it.  Now that it has lights and ornaments he seems more interested.  If he gets too interested, we may have to go with my sisters tactic - barricade with dining room chairs!
