As far as being irritable goes, nothing beats the tired and hungry combination.  With little sleep due to inflamed gums, Baby Mochi was wiped out and reportedly took a nearly 4 1/2 hour nap!  Not one tantrum and just in the best mood ever… until she got home, that is.  We gave her a small bowl of green beans as an appetizer while I finished preparing the rest of her meal, but she insisted on getting up on her high chair to eat them.  Then since she had to wait a while longer, G took her out of her high chair and she threw a huge fit.  Taking her outside always calms her, but not today… she just lay down on the cement driveway and screamed her head off.  Eventually I brought her in so the neighbors didn’t start wondering what was going on, but holy cow, what a sight that must’ve been.  G was just watering the lawn a few feet away while she was sprawled out on the driveway and Big Mochi was just playing around the both of them.

• Baby Mochi: Aaaaaaaaaaah! Aaaaaaaaaaaah! Aaaaaaaaaaaah! (high-pitched screams)
• Me: Do you want some applesauce?
• Baby Mochi: Aaaaaaaaaaaah! Aaaaaaaaaaaah! Yeah (her low boy-voice) Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

Hahahaha, cracked me up.

Eventually I figured out that she thought we were just not going to feed her anymore since she got out of her high chair.  And so she opted to stand up and eat using Big Mochi’s chair as her dinner table.  When she was finished eating her food and applesauce, she asked for a drink and was a happy camper once again – until 1 a.m., that is.
