Happy Baby!

We should be on a plane to Boston at this very moment, but I decided to cancel our reservation(sigh) and reschedule for another time (sorry girls!) The past couple of days have been a little rough around here. For two days Lucas has refused to eat anything, has been acting really cranky and sleeping more than usual. Normally he eats 4 oz every 3 hrs. Sunday and Monday he would only take about an ounce of pedialyte every 4-5 hrs. His doctor has determined that it must be a stomach bug. It's been a challenge, to say the least.

Anyway, every single morning for the past 10 weeks I have been woken up by Lucas crying for a bottle. He literally opens his eyes, realizes he's hungry and immediately starts screaming his little heart out. This morning, I woke up to complete silence. After checking both boys (and doing a little happy dance) I made myself some coffee. Finally, I heard little noises on Lucas' monitor and went to check on him. I couldn't believe my eyes when I found a HAPPY baby! I guess he's feeling better! The little Houdini wiggled his way out of his swaddle blanket and apparently he was really happy about it. He was all smiles, kicking, punching and his new trick-cooing! Yes, I know, this seems trivial to most of you. But for me, it was a very good morning! Now, if he would just sleep through the night...

We've also discovered that Lucas' favorite thing to do is sit in the corner of the couch. He likes his swing, his play mat and his bouncy seat, but they all last about 10-15 minutes and then he's bored and crying. But, he loves the couch. We sit him there to read to him and he just loves it. It doesn't take much sometimes.
