Road Trip

...didn't go as well as I had hoped. Leon was fussy on the way there. I don't know if his feet were hurting because of his shoes or if he was just tired. Once we got to our first stop, he was really good. Laughing, playing etc. just like he normally does at home. Then, he fell asleep on the way to meet my friend for lunch and slept about 10 minutes while we were there. Then he slept on the way to our next stop and about the first 15 minutes we were there as well. He was great playing like he was the first time. Then on the way home he slept fine. I stopped at Target to get some more nipples for his bottles that he seems to get more milk out of and he screamed the whole way home. (This isn't really far though...just a couple minutes down the road) Then we were getting ready to go out for dinner with Skip's family and he screamed the whole way there and fell asleep on the way inside. He was great through dinner and then screamed and cried himself to sleep on the way home. Once we got home, he never woke up until 5:00 this morning. He got up and ate about 5 ounces which was good. Then it's been downhill since then as far as his eating goes and it's 1 of 3 things that I can think of. 1. I gave him cereal around 11:30 and that is holding him over VERY nicely. 2. he doesn't have his appetite back from being sick last week because I don't have mine back after getting what he had. 3. His teeth are still bothering him for some reason. It could be a combination of 1 and 2, but then who knows. I gave him some Tylenol and that didn't help in this last feeding I tried. He starts to eat and then turns away and cries...it's like he's full but he hasn't hardly ate anything. I just don't get it. I know there are days that he'll do that and maybe he just isn't hungry, but it is starting to really get on my nerves. Other than eating, he is perfectly normal. I know I still haven't ate hardly anything yet so it wouldn't surprise me if that is what his problem is. As long as he's staying hydrated, I'm not as worried about it, but he still needs to eat his formula. He does excellent in the morning and then it slowly tapers off and goes downhill from there. He never spits up or anything so he's keeping everything down..just doesn't want the bottle much. He ate 5 ounces, then 4 hours later he ate about 3-4, then 2 hours later I gave him some cereal and 3 ounces. He took a nap, woke up and was crying like he was hungry...so I tried to feed him and he only ate 1 ounce. Then a couple hours later he was crying again like he was hungry and he only ate about 1-2. In about an hour I'm going to try some more cereal and see how that goes. He's fine...other than his eating, but I think it's mainly because of him being sick last week. He's still tired even though he's taken a 2 1/2 hour nap and a 3 hour nap today...maybe it's a growth spurt too...who knows. Hopefully tonight goes well as far as sleep goes...we'll see!!
