the fann clann

in the “strange case of dr jekyll and mr hyde a london lawyer who investigates strange occurrences between his friend, dr henry jekyll, and one edward hyde. the work is known for its vivid portrayal of a split personality; “jekyll and hyde” has come to mean a person who may show a distinctly different character, or profoundly different behaviour, from one situation to the next, as if almost another person.

i had such “jekyll and hyde” moments this weekend.  i have some molars coming in (we think) and let me tell you, if they don’t hurt.  so i didn’t really want to eat my bottle at all, and i didn’t sleep all that well during the day.  but i wasn’t all bad – mom and dad say it is hard to get or stay upset at me because i am so adorable, and sweet.  well, gosh – i don’t know what to say.  i mean, it would be hard to get mad at this.

i would be playing along, happy as a clam, and then the next moment i would feel some pain or something would happen and since i was hungry and tired (from not being able to eat or sleep well) i would turn into a crying, raging baby.  then after a few moments, i would turn back into my lovely self.  i was happiest when i was outside.  i get lost during stroller rides and like to look at everything going on.  i also enjoyed playing in the yard and on the porch – those times i stayed away from foul moods.

i also gained some skills walking this weekend.  i am pretty much walking as my primary form of transportation (aside from strolling and being carried).  i will crawl if i need to get somewhere quickly (like zeus’ food dish or some other thing that mom or dad have left out that i shouldn’t get into).  but i was turning as i was walking, and even walking backwards.  if i was walking in one direction and saw something happen behind me, i would do a 360 and head that way.  i thought that was a fairly large achievement.  the backwards thing i can only do a few steps and then i get tripped up, but before long i’ll be ice skating backwards and playing for the red wings.
