Much to my dismay , Bobby didnt agree with my vision for a nice night. We got home, and Bobby immediately started crying. Because he was upset, I decided to skip the cereal and give him a bottle. Bobby had other ideas...
He didnt want to be held laying down (no suprise there he loves to stand). The bad part, he didnt want to stand either. I tried everything I could think of. Changed him, rocked him, put him in the swing, the bouncy seat, the exersaucer. Of course, the phone starts ringing so Mommy could check on her boys, which got the dog riled up.
Finally, Bobby decided that if I held him up against my shoulder, while alternating between patting and rubbing his back, he was content enough to stop cyring. Ah ha, my opportunity! Wrong again. The second I moved him into a laying position to eat, the waterworks started up again.
The next part really shows how much Bobby loves his Mommy. When Jenny made it home, she offered to try and feed him. He took the rest of the bottle with no problems, and went straight to sleep. She was even kind enough to let me take a break from the crying and just chill on the couch for a few minutes.
Sometimes it can be really hard when you are unable to discipher what is wrong with your baby, and can drive you to the brink of insanity. The good news... this morning when he woke up, one of the first things he did was give me a big smile :) That toothless grin can melt any heart and make hours of screaming well worth while.
What did I learn from this? I still havent figured out how to get him calm if he wants his Mommy, but I have been reassured that he does love me and when he is full and rested we can play and have fun. I cant wait until this weekend, when Bobby, Mommy and I can hang out together and have lots of fun!
Thank you for being such a good Mommy Jennifer. I dont know what Bobby and I would do without you.
