"she understands that she can control you with a scream. that much she gets."

Yep. She is so much more willfull than the toddler ever was that it's scary. I'm not sure I put him down much for the first 6mths of his life but he was never this difficult. I think most of his recent difficulty is a combo of normal toddler behavior and trying to get attention away from the baby. The baby is just altogether weird a lot of times. If she's crying, she only wants me, daddy is only wanted at playtime. And if a stranger looks at her, she gives them a dirty look most of the time.. if they dare to speak to her she *screams* this blood curdling scream until they are out of sight. You wouldn't believe how many people she's offended this way. lol She won't even let my father in law be in sight of her without screaming bloody murder and he hasn't even held her since she was 6wks old because of it.
