William Bailey: May 2011

05/23/2011

Will slept all night and daddy took him to daycare.

About 10:30 the sitter texted me that she didn't think he was feeling well. I asked if he was pulling at his ears or if he napped, thinking he might be tired. She said no to the pulling, and that he napped earlier, and that he didn't want to hold his head up. I headed out of work a little early, and by the time I got there he was fine. Turns out she thinks that one of the other kids being really fussy was bothering Will, and the reason he wouldn't keep his head up is because he was trying to twist like he does in his exersaucer, but the toy she had him in didn't twist, so his body was just twisting funny. We headed home and he was in a really good mood.

We played for a short time, and Will worked on his scooting and crawling.

He took his bottle and then I put him down for a nap and I headed to bed too, hoping for 30 minutes of rest. After a few minutes of fussing I checked on him and found him on his stomach with his legs all of the way out of the crib again. I picked him up and put him on his back. He was quiet for a while and then started fussing again, and this time I found him on his stomach with his head all the way in the corner of the crib, and every time he would try to lay his head down it would hit the crib rails. I once again laid him on his back in the middle of his bed, and I could tell he was tired. He rolled onto his side, started talking to his glo-horse, and fell asleep. I also fell right asleep. 2 hours later I woke up to him squirming and by the time I got to his room he was fast asleep again. We both slept another hour, and then got up to have some dinner. Will did much better with his apples, and tomorrow we will start carrots.

Daddy got home from work and took over when he was done eating. He fed Will about 9, and said he didn't even cry when he put him down for bed!

Will was up in the middle of the night, but after a diaper change and a short fuss he went right back to sleep. I fed him at 5:30 and he went back to sleep again, and at 6:30 I could hear him talking and playing in his crib. At 7 I got up and fed the dogs, and then got Will, who was still happy.

He was already rubbing his eyes at 9, so I tried to put him down for his morning nap (and take one myself), but I heard him start crying his "I;m not tired, I'm MAD" cry, and I went in to find him on his stomach, feet toward me, with his legs fully extended through the slats out of the side of the crib. We went back downstairs, and daddy was up soon and took over. Klif took Will for a walk, and then Will finally took a small nap.

We ran some errands, including going to PetSmart, where Will loved watching the birds. Will took another short evening nap,

and then stayed up with daddy while I went to bed.

Will got up with Daddy and I slept in.

I took over for a bit when I got up, played with Will for a while as Klif got ready, and then headed out to a neighborhood rummage sale and Klif met up with us when he was done. I hit the jackpot of clothes for Will! After the rummage sale we ran some errands. We didn't expect to be out long, and forgot to bring Will's diaper bag. A huge neighborhood rummage sale took more time than I thought (and we didn't get anything but 2 shirts!) and by the time we made it to the first store it was time for Will to eat! He did fine though, and was happy as long as he was moving around. We stopped and got the diaper bag and I fed Will while Klif got his hair cut.

Will was very happy in the waiting room chair. After a quick stop at WalMart we went home and Pa came over with Lily.

They played for a while and I did some yard work, and then we all went to get some ice cream.

Will was well past nap time, but stayed awake at the ice cream place. I headed to Liam's Sip and See

and Will headed back home with everyone else and took a nap.

After I got home I took advantage of everyone being at the house and headed out to work on the yard while Will played with everyone inside. With dad's help, I got my fence work 99% done. After everyone left we gave Will a bath

and put him down for bed, made a final trip to WalMart while Klif stayed home, then headed to bed too!

Daddy was taking Will to see some co-workers today, so they stopped by for breakfast since they were out. Will did great in the high chair but wanted to share our breakfasts. He went with daddy to one of the Seals offices,

and then back home. After work I tried Will's jeans diapers on him,

and then I played with Will while Klif ran some errands,

Then we played outside for a minute

(yes, he is in the same outfit as yesterday) and then went grocery shopping and got some ice cream.

Will has now mastered sitting in the grocery cart.

We woke up Will with just enough time to change his diaper before heading to the hospital.

He was in a surprisingly good mood for not getting a bottle.

We checked into the hospital at 7 and were put in a private waiting room.

The surgery wasn't until 8, and we just sat there and waiting.

Occasionally a doctor or nurse would stop in and ask us questions or greet us. Will started getting fussy, and I tried to put him to sleep but failed. Klif took over and he immediately went to sleep.

At 8, a nurse came in and picked up Will, and he woke up. As she headed out the door with him, he looked over her shoulder at us and gave us a half asleep huge smile. 12 minutes later the doctor came in and said everything went great, and that they would bring Will in as soon as he woke up. About 10 minutes late we heard him crying, and they brought him right to us and I had a bottle waiting. He ate most of his bottle, still very groggy, and didn't open his eyes the whole time.

for 15 minutes after his bottle he screamed, but by the time we were walking out he was great. He talked the whole way home. Klif had to head to work as soon as we got home, and Will was very happy in the morning.

He took a morning nap and was really in a good mood the whole day. We went to Steak n' Shake for lunch with Nana and Lily.

Will fell asleep on the short drive there, and didn't wake out when I got him out of his seat!

He slept through our whole lunch, just waking up when it was time to go.

We played at home for a while,

and then he slept for over 2 hours during his evening nap, and I had to wake him for fear he wouldn't go to sleep at night.

Nana came over to watch Will until Klif came home, and ended up with a bloody nose after Will head-butted her. Oops! Daddy came home and then Nana headed back to Jeremiah's.
