It’s not all flowers and sausages with this kid*

I know what with all of my gushing you might think that Jackson is the perfect child who spends all his days smiling and being cute and his nights sleeping soundly. Well, he does spend his nights sleeping soundly right now – probably mostly because we haven’t encountered teething yet. But he does have days where he’s, for lack of a better word, a butt head. A CUTE ONE WHO I LOVE, but a butt head nonetheless.
These days are few and far between, thankfully. But it seems like Jackson is going to be one of those people who has an extremely long fuse but when he explodes, HE EXPLODES. Case in point: his crying. He’s either smiling or screaming. There is no whimpering or whining. It used to upset me, but now that I know he’s fine, I find it somewhat humorous.
Here’s a video example for you, showing Jackson’s typical reaction when he’s been awakened unexpectedly from a nap. I assure you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with him here. You’ll even see that he suddenly becomes totally fine. Don’t call social services.

Like I said, he’s fine. He was fed, clean, and healthy. Just really, really pissed off. And I’m sure the fact that I was filming him helped a TON.

OH!OH! Wife Swap! Yesssss, I am awesome!
Um, or it was that other show where they swap wives but it’s called something different.
Darn it, Hayley! I can’t believe you got this one. I know for a fact it is wife swap because it is my favorite thing to say in the world. So insightful!
As a fellow scorpio (Jackson was born the day before my own birthday)… I will tell you that we do indeed have a long fuse… for the biggest bomb you will ever experience! My poor husband experienced mine the other day.
My pregnancy hormones were going nutso, and he was doing what he thought was cleaning. (which really means he as moving stuff from one room, and putting into a pile on the floor for me to deal with in another room, including my previously hung up wedding dress- on the floor). And I went berserk… I started throwing that stuff all over the house, and when he asked me what I was doing, I yelled at him that I was cleaning and didn’t it look familiar since it was the same thing he was doing?!?!
Anyway… yes long fuse… BAD TEMPER.
Oh dear goodness. I’m reminded of Little People and Amazonian Bodybuilders maybe?! Hysterical how Jackson just randomly stops his crazy @$$ screaming. (My 2 week old niece is currently working on perfecting the Scream-and-Puke maneuver).
Well, his tonsils look great!
