Yesterday, our little boy did his best to test his mommy with a good solid hour of screaming. We theorize that he's making adjustments to some rice cereal (which he clearly doesn't like), and that may have made him uncomfortable or crampy or something.
Today though, Simon was mostly awesome all day. Diana also got some oatmeal cereal, which he seems to like and understand that it's food. He did a really good job today eating, and we're hoping that extra substantial food is one of the keys to longer sleeping patterns. That's Dr. Cargo Pants' theory too, given the insane amount of formula he now requires.
He was such a happy little boy today though, and he was making such good eye contact with me. Because I generally have only an hour or two with him in the evenings (and to give Diana a break from being with him all day), I try to be as hands on as I can with the bottle feeding, changing and baths. He was just so cute today though, more than normal. He was giving happy shrieks on the changing table and giggling. He loves splashing in the tub too, and didn't even protest too much when we dried him off and got him dressed.
After his bath, we had a nice wind down on the couch with him, as Diana sang some of his favorites ("Wheels on the Bus," "Itsy Bitsy Spider"). Big smiles all the way to bed. He even spent some time talking to the stuffed animals on or in his crib after we closed the door.
My little guy just doesn't disappoint when he's being cute!
