On Saturday night, Marshall threw his first genuine fit. He was trying to put the remote control in his mouth, so Jordan took it away from him. He let out a blood-curdling scream and his face turned bright red. Jordan returned the remote to him, and he instantly stopped crying. So, for our sheer entertainment, Jordan again took the remote away, and again, Marshall started screaming and arching his back. Jordan handed him the remote and immediately he was all smiles. Yup, he's going to be a terror. :) And, just because I'm that kind of parent, I'm going to try to catch this amazing display on video.
It used to be that Marshall would only cry when he was 1) hungry, 2) tired or 3) had pooped or needed to poop. Now he cries if 1) he can see his bottle but you don't give it to him right away, 2) you take something from him or 3) any of the previous three listed above.
Jordan said this is just a preview of what's to come during his "terrible twos," but then Jordan followed that up with, "Aren't you glad you'll be missing that phase of his life, for the most part?" He was referring to my intern year of residency, since I'll be working 80 hours per week on average... and NO- I'm DEVASTATED that I'll have to miss any moment with him. :(

I think it was the first time the fit came in public (at the doctor's office no less) that I wished it was Shawn instead of me.
