Brandon Update

I just finished uploading some holiday photos from the past couple of weeks. I thought I would throw in an update as to how our little bug is doing.

He was more fussy today and crabby.....as we all were in our own way. Brandon was up a LOT last night. He slept from 9pm to almost midnight. Then he was up for an hour or so with dad. Dad tried everything to get him back to sleep. Eventually he made it! Only to last a whole 45 minutes and he was up again at 1:45. I got up with him this time and again nothing worked. We were up until about 3am. Finally he fell asleep next to me in bed. (Dad usually sleeps on the couch and I have the bed because of my bad back- I have to lay in an L position and it is tough...someday we will be a normal married couple and sleep in the same bed. He also gets better sleep when I am not tossing so much because of my back). Brandon finally slept from 3am to 6am. Dad got him at 6 and I finally got some sleep. He took his morning nap at 9:30 and did sleep for an hour. So did Dad and I! Once Brandon was up-we were all up. We ate lunch together and dad went to work. Brandon didn't eat. He fussed. Nothing would make him happy today and once I took his temp I knew he was still feeling crummy. It is a low temp- which is good.

Brandon only slept for 20 minutes so I decided it was time to bundle up and go for a drive...so we did and he slept another 20 minutes. He didn't sleep the rest of the day.

We tried sweet potato (an actual sweet potato) for dinner and he didn't like it. I think it is the texture. He doesn't like mandarian oranges or sometimes bananas either- it is that same texture.

HE DID CHEERIOES for the first time today! Most of them ended up on the floor or attached to his butt in the high chair.

I am exhausted today. Brandon just wanted attention and to be held all day. I couldn't even pee without him fussing over me not being there. Oh well....what us mothers wouldn't do for our kids.

Hopefully he will start feeling better soon.
