The Screamer is Back!

A couple of months after Jack was born it seemed like all he did was cry, and so our Bishop named him screaming Jack. I thought he had outgrown his love to cry and scream months ago, but it has come back with a vengeance. Whenever we go play with Taryn he protects the toys he is playing with like there is no tomorrow. Whenever Taryn so much as comes close to him he lets out a blood curdling scream and hovers over the toy he is playing with, it also sounds like he says mine. He also screams like a mad man whenever I take some thing away from him he should not have. It generally only happens at night, and he is teething so maybe that has something to do with it.

Yesterday Taryn took a toy away from him and I thought he was a goner. He let out a horrible ear deafing scream that seemed to last forever. He then flung his body forward plopping his head on the floor and banging his hands on the ground. When I picked him up he arched his back and screamed again. While this was happening Taryn looked on in horror. When the toy was returned to him he picked it up and sighed AHHH. I have to say he is generally a very very happy and content baby. All I can do is laugh to myself and hope and pray that this ends soon.
