It's been a rough week for our little baby Blum. Z cut his second bottom tooth, got FIVE shots and it looks like his two top teeth are thinking of joining the party right now as well. The poor little guy has been sleeping and eating erratically, clearly is uncomfortable and exhausted. I feel so bad for him. Last night when he woke up hungry he was so tired he would pass out before he could even get full. Today he crashed at 4:30, woke for a bottle at 5:30, was out for another two hours, up for about 45 minutes and then in bed. I'm hoping this marathon sleeping will signify a turn for the better for our tired boy.
I also feel so bad for our babysitter who has had a real crabby little guy on her hands. She's so patient and kind with him though, it gives me a lot of ease during the day. I'll definitely be taking post-shots day off of work for his 9 month appointment!
Even with the crabbiness and feeling bad for the little man, he still has delightfully sunny moments of laughing and trying new tricks. He's completely fascinated with sippy cups right now. He can't really figure it out but he's delighted by the handles and bright colors. And its really warmed my heart that even though he's been really fussy the last two days for his babysitter, my little guy has lit right up when he sees me come in. Yesterday he had just fallen asleep when I got there and started crying with his eyes closed when going into his car seat. Then, when he opened his eyes and saw it was mama he stopped crying and got a huge smile on his face. Then remembered he was tired and started crying again, but it was pretty wonderful to see my little guy clearly know me and be comforted just by my presence. Boy do I love that little bundle.
