Wade went to sleep last night at 8, his normal time. He woke up at 11 to eat, and at 1:30 he woke up again to eat, which is typical for him still. He is still on a 2-3 hour eating pattern. When I tried to lay him down after feeding him at 1:30, all hell broke loose. He SCREAMED if I tried to put him down, and was only somewhat content when I was holding him while rocking him. If I tried to lay him down, or if I tried to sit down, he would start screaming. He has been that way all day today as well. I am literally running off of 90 minutes of sleep today. I was going to nap with the boys this afternoon, but you guessed it. As soon as Wadey-poo was not being held or rocked he was screaming. Which, woke Owen up, so now I have a crabby baby who is strapped to me in the Moby Wrap, and a crabby 2-year-old who is in his room trying to rest again. Thank goodness Daddy will be home in an hour! What a day! Hopefully tonight is better. If not, we will be going to our Pediatrician's Urgent Care tomorrow to rule out any illness!
And, because I feel like all I have been doing is talking about how fussy Wadey has been, I want to write some things I adore about my youngest baby. I love how he is always "on alert" when he hears his brother, like is preparing to be assaulted. It is so funny, when he hears O, his eyes get huge and he starts moving his head around. He is on the defense! I also love how when he has the hiccups, or when he coughs, or has a huge burp, he will let out a "AAAAAAAH!" afterwards. It is a mix between a huge sigh of relief, and a scream of frustration. Hilarious. I also love when he is eating, he makes the loudest sounds. It is to the point where 1) Owen imitates the sounds he makes and 2) I am nervous to feed him in public because he makes so many moans and groans, and sighs and grunts. It is so funny. Speaking of sounds, another thing that is hilarious is that Wade is seriously the loudest baby on the planet. For real. He is always grunting, groaning, coughing, sighing, (screaming), etc. Even in his sleep. Chris and I lay in bed with him when he is sleeping and we just crack up at how LOUD he is. I am also in love with Wadey's sweet gummy smile. He makes you work for it, but in the end it is worth it! During the days, Owen and I spend time trying to make Wade smile. We probably look totally ridiculous, all up in Wadey's face blowing raspberries and calling him our chunky monkey. But his huge open-mouth smile is precious!!! He is definitely growing up way too quickly.
