Fussy Breakfast And Dinner

Dearest Joshua David~

Hello cutie!  How are you?  :-)

You ended up waking up this morning crying .... I don't know what time it was (I do know it was early and dark out), so daddy picked you up and brought you over to our bed.  You continued to squirm around but then fell back asleep.  You woke up again fussy at some point, but then fell back asleep again.  We all eventually woke up after 8am, but you kept us awake off and on prior to that.  :-P

We did a lot of chores this morning.  We swept the downstairs and vacuumed the house.  We organized and put away your laundry.  I tried to give you some apple cinnamon oatmeal this morning (something new), but you kicked around like a bucking bronco just trying to get you in the high chair!  For some reason you were just so fussy!  You eventually took a few spoonfuls of it, but it was a struggle.  Also, you did the same thing this evening for dinner .... you fought us just trying to get you in the high chair!  Daddy got so frustrated that we ended up switching (he was feeding you and I was cooking, so we swapped out .... not that you did any better for me!). 

By lunch time we were over at Mimi's.  We brought Mimi and Grandpa Mike some burgers as a treat.  :-)  Your Mimi has been getting so many chicken meals from friends that they needed a break .... and burgers sounded good to daddy and I too!  ;-)

We stayed there for a while and visited.  We told them all about your second fair adventure and your dislike for the demolition derby (at least for now).  ;-)  You got really fussy after lunch since you still hadn't taken a nap all day .... you fought sleep while we were out on the screened porch.  You wrestled with daddy and I as we tried to rock you, but you eventually fell asleep while I was holding you in a rocking chair. 

After we left, we ran an errand to the grocery store.  We picked up some more food for you (little baby mixes) and the next stage for formula.  Once you finish the container you're on, I'm going to move you into Stage 2 Toddler formula.  It's pretty much just like the infant one you eat now, but a little less calcium and a few other minerals, but you're drinking whole milk now so you're fine.  

After dinner, we went upstairs for your bath.  You watched the water go into the tub as daddy held you .... you ended up peeing on the side of the tub while standing there!  :-P  Oh well!  At least you didn't pee while in the tub!  ;-)

We all played in the bonus room after your bath.  You got a little fussy while fighting sleep, but you eventually fell asleep when daddy was holding you.  Daddy and I watched a few shows online on the laptop and then put you down for bed (we were falling asleep as well).  You woke up and fussed, once daddy put you down, but then you fell back asleep after you rolled over.  

Tomorrow we need to wake up earlier to help Mimi and Grandpa Mike with some things, so get some nice rest tonight.  Sleep tight little one!  :-)

I love you!  :-)
