You won't like it when I'm angry!!

Tonight was rough. I got off work 3 hrs early because they didn't want to pay me OT (rrr!), so I picked up Kellen from day care, went to Babies R Us and got his FIRST sippy cups ever (!!), then went home. Little man and I hung out on my bed for a while...he was pretty content to roll around and bounce on his knees, but he started to get a little fussy. They told me that he last ate at 4pm, so next bottle was at 8pm (or bedtime). Needless to say...he did NOT make it to 6pm without having a total meltdown. So I tried to feed him some oatmeal and mashed bananas. He had a few bites, but for some reason started to really lose it, as if I had put a giant quantity of cayenne pepper in his food. He would stop crying when I put the spoon up to him, but as soon as I pulled the spoon out of his mouth, he would get so PISSED OFF! He wanted to just sit there and gnaw on the spoon. After a few more bites...he was just crying constantly, I had to stop.

I put him in the tub...which chilled him out for a little bit...but then he lost his little mind again...again acting like I was killing him or something. I was actually a little worried! So, I had the bottle warmed, which of course settled him down immediately. He sucks down his bottles in 5 mins flat. He was rubbing his face and scratching his head...TIRED!!  So, I sat him up...he proceeded NOT to spit up, but actually projectile vomit all over himself, me, and the floor (which I managed to forget about and then step in later with my bare feet...NICE).

I took him straight to bed...and he turned over on his side and fall asleep without protest within minutes.  He actually doesn't usually EVER protest when he goes to bed...I hope this little quality of his lasts FOREVER!

This week will be his last week at the Montessori school till August. My awesome 16 yr old cousin, Jamie, will be watching Kellen for us on the two or three days that one of us actually isn't home. This will be a HUGE savings in $$ for us...maybe now I can pay off my medical bills from having the baby!  Plus, it will make me so happy that he's with family...at home. I hope he doesn't drive her crazy, although she sits with him whenever we go out, so she's familiar with his hijinks. Actually, Kellen has very few hijinks. I'm sure he will gain lots of hijinks in the next month or so as he learns to crawl...
