Major cuteness with a side of fussiness

Ben is absolutely adorable these days.

The Prilosec has done the trick.  This video was taken when he was on the Zantac(warning turn volume down):
He was having those crying episode 2-4 times an hour and wanted to just be held and walked around.  Now that he is back on the Prilosec, we only get that type of crankiness from about 3-7pm.  Four hours of that is much better than 16 + hours of it.  I still look forward to a day where he doesn't cry for seemingly no reason.  I know he is crying due to pain, as he has a very different cry when he is tantruming or when he is angry with Liam.

These days Ben is truly a toddler and no longer a baby. He runs and climbs and has even started the dreaded tantrums.  He has Wiggles dances memorized and participates in all the dances at Gymboree.  His hair has otten longer and does this adorable flip by his ears and curls in the back:

He brings toys to you all day and won't leave until you take it from him.  He then says "thank you" giggles and runs to get another toy. He even shares with Murray.



Sleep remains unrelenting awful.  He has taken to staying awake for 2-3 hours a niht about 3-4 days a week.  On a good night, like last night, he wakes twice, but goes right back to sleep.  For naps, he sometimes does not nap at all, sometimes naps 10-20 minutes, and about 2-3 times a week graces us with a 60-90 minute nap.  We have tried everything imainable to get more sleep, but it just isn't happening. Unfortunately, he DOES need more sleep as he often is tired and cranky from lack of sleep.

His saving grace is his big personality and his cuteness.....

What a cutie! I am so sorry you are still struggling with sleep hell. I can empathize. But I'm glad he's on the Prilosec again and it's helping.. Murray looks so patient with him.
