Growth Spurt, Teething, or Just Being a Pain?

Yesterday was my long-awaited first weekday home with Nicholas and it was honestly pretty painful. Not quite what I had in mind. After how delightful he was all weekend I guess he was due for a day of being a pain, but that doesn't make it any more fun.

He has been clingy and congested a lot of the week and grumpier than usual. He has also been eating like a horse since sometime late last week, as well as drooling to an extent I haven't seen from him in 4 or 5 months. So maybe he is going through a growth spurt, maybe he is teething, maybe he is feeling sick, or maybe he is just in a bad mood. We'll see what the next few days bring.

I still have videos from last weekend to post, but we're out of space in the online gallery. We may start a new gallery, but that is only a temporary solution. For some reason these recent videos are huge file sizes and so a single one would take up something absurd like 25% of the space in a Picasa account. So we need to play around with them and see if there is anything we can do to shrink the file size. But eventually you will be able to see him crawl and "play ball."

  1. We use Vimeo - it has all of the functionality of YouTube but is far less used (less trolls) and you get less comments (again with the trolls). It's free and a great service.

    Hope that the spurt/teething passes and he bounces back with renewed happiness!

  2. Grumpy? Bad mood? Eating like a horse?

    At least we know it's not hereditary.
