Almost a Toddler

Before we left for Mexico, Kanyon was just BARELY starting to crawl. She would only take one or two "steps" and she'd give up. Now its a different story. I can barely get her to sit still long enough to change her diaper. We fight about this alot and now she thinks its a game everytime I grab her leg to pull her back to me before I have the diaper on. I try not to laugh when she is squealing out of pure delight, but its hard to be mad at a cute face like that! I can already tell I'm not going to be a good discipliner. And the scary thing is that Jake is even weaker when it comes to Kanyon! At first, I was worried for Kanyon, coming to parents like us...but I take that all back. Now I am scared for us having a daughter like Kanyon! She is very strong willed and will not stop at anything until she gets what she wants. That usually means my cell phone or the TV remote. She even fake cries! No tears at all, just alot of noise. Ugh..who taught her that? And I can't keep her off the stairs. She can go up just fine...but going down isn't so graceful. We still need to work on that. I guess I should invest in a couple baby gates for the stairs...or better yet, maybe a cage. (Just kidding!)
