 Definitely fussy. Sleep all over the place: W. came for afternoon tea a few days ago with the intention of seeing Alan, but he slept through her entire visit. That day he napped for 5 hours, today he slept barely more than an hour. Nighttime is just as unpredictable. Sometimes when I put him in his crib he's dead to the world, only to wake up screaming later. He cried as I started writing this, but I think he's gone back to sleep. ^_^;

This is a "Wonder Week," so there are some clingy and regressive behaviours: he even sat quietly in his rocker chair to watch me shower, chewing on his Baby Banana toothbrush. But he's also teething... again! Tooth #5!! All day long he trails around puddles of drool, it's a wonder he hasn't broken out in hives on his chin again.

He's also:
  • Fallen off the bed twice (the second time on my mom's watch, so she finally takes the issue seriously)
  • Fallen while trying to walk with S.'s walking toy and hit his head
  • Knocked over folded step-ladder onto himself, bruising cheekbone
  • Fallen forward while trying to stand in the bath, hitting his head (not on faucet thankfully)
Those are just the instances that caused some distress. Nothing too serious--only the falls off the bed caused more than momentary upset--but still... boys......

Happier notes. Alan seems to be having fun now watching cars go by in the street, under my windows. We had one final yoga class, which ended up being private with L. because no one else came (obvious threat of rain). She took a photo of Alan for her Insta story, wearing my sister's vintage rainbow striped onesie from 30 years ago. It was a shower gift from a family friend, obviously giving way at the seams now, but if there were a way to get it copied I would--even as a gift for others. It's just an adorable and practical outfit.
