Mr Smiles

Mr Smiles wasn't all smiles last night. He was one unhappy little boy. The fussiness all began Tuesday after his 9 month check up and escalated over the next two days. He refused to go down to sleep and would barely take his bottle. Finally at 8:30pm, Todd went driving to get him to fall asleep. He slept until about 12:30pm and was up crying again. He took a little more of his bottle but not much and went back down only to start crying soon after. Parker and I watched cartoons, sang songs, ate puffs, drank water, drank a little milk and walked circles around the living from until 3:30am. My mind and body had finally given in at that point and I think his had too because he went down to sleep without a fuss.

The following day he still wasn't himself...not taking his bottle and now refusing to eat his food. Right before lunch I made a call to the Dr which we later made a visit to. Ms. Nancy was stumped...no ear infection, no sore throat and after 2 catheters...nothing. You would have thought he was a-ok at the Dr office though because he was flirting with all the nurses and Nancy! It has been a long emotional day. Not to mention I had surgery yesterday and am in pain but thanks to Todd's parents and my mom, I have had a lot of help with Parker.

Well, Mr. Smiles is down for the night...no fussing just straight to sleep. i sure hope he sleeps through the night and wakes in a great mood.
