All I can do is yawn while I type. It was a long, busy day. Bill had to go in to the office so it was just me and the boys again today. It started out very well, they were well behaved and went down for their morning naps right on schedule. Right after lunch is when all hell broke loose and they were both screaming for my attention. I made it through somehow.
Trevor had a tough day, not only was he teething, but his little tummy was hurting with gas cramps. Last night at about 11:45p, we were talking with Brendan’s night nurse and suddenly Trevor started screaming. It was the scared pain kind of cry, very panicked. All of us ran as fast as we could to his room, worried. He must have just startled awake with his gas pain, he was frightened and still cramping. Poor baby needed a lot of soothing to get back to sleep. I imagine that it was the bit of cheese and yogurt in his diet. The doctor told us to give it a try, but with his previous dairy issue, we wondered. He hasn’t outgrown that yet.

I did make a point to take a lot more pictures today.

I could not have made it through the day without baby jail.

Trevor is at least allowed visitors

He is determined to escape

He thinks he is a big shot with standing already, he let go with both hands and thought he was going to stand on his own. That was just a few seconds before he ate play rug. He does not get deterred by wipeouts though. He cries sometimes and then goes right back to what he was doing.

Bailey stopped by to say hello this afternoon. She convinced him to try to gnaw his way out of baby jail.

Other than the couple of attention meltdowns from Brendan, he had another fabulous day. Probably the best he has had since coming home. He is playing so well. He sprinted 3 hours again. He was all silly and smiley and needed little suctioning.

Next to Jacque the Peacock, Brendan’s favorite thing is the yellow puff jar. His eyes light up when he sees it and he reaches for it with both hands.

He is doing it all wrong, but that is OK. His two top teeth are so close to breaking through, and they look like big ones! It will be so funny to see him with big teeth.

Trevor’s teething is progressing too, but he will at least chew on cold things and eat ice cubes to help. Trevor really likes the grape Tylenol and wants to hold the dropper and eat it himself.

We have a big weekend ahead of us. We have decided to let go one of our nurses from the home healthcare company. We are going to have a lot of extra work to do ourselves until a suitable replacement is found. It means less sleep for us, but it is the best thing for Brendan.
