Anlee vs. Drake: 0 to 100 (Real Quick)

I never thought I'd say this, but some things were so much easier when Anlee was younger. Yes, she is just one. But technically, she is a toddler...and boy does she act like it.

When she was an "infant", there was always a reason behind her crying. The list was short: she was hungry, she was tired, she was cold, she lost her pacifier, she was teething. That's it. You knew if she was crying, it was because of one of those things. The task was to find which one.

But something wizardish happened when she turned one. She went from "infant" to "toddler" classification and somehow she was aware of it and had to behave like her new class. It was if someone waved a magic wand and cast a spell of tantrums.

Now I don't want to make it seem like she's in a horrible mood all the time. A majority of the day, she looks like this:

A happy baby, smiling about life and learning everything she can about what's around her. Her laughs are the best thing in my world. But as Drake said, she can go 0 to 100 real quick, real real quick. Perfectly fine and giggling one moment, baby rager the next.
