Happy Boy

Noah has to be the happiest baby ever. He just smiles and laughes all the time. Even in the middle of all this acid reflux nonsense we've been dealing with, he just keeps on truckin'. Maybe that's why when he wakes up screaming in the middle of the night I want to just cry for him. It doesn't seem fair that a baby so happy during the day wakes himself up in pain countless times a night.

Luckily we have tried some new medications and have found that the Prilosec he's been taking has been doing the trick. In the last five nights, he's had four where he wakes up once, around 4:15, to nurse. Then he goes right back to sleep until 6:30, when he's actually ready to get up. Seeing as how we put him to bed at 8:00, I can't argue with him waking once around 4:00. We're like a whole new family around here!

In the midst of our sleep-deprived stupor, I haven't been blogging or even really downloading my pictures to my computer. I finally got around to it today, and had forgotten about this night a month ago or so. Justin kept putting a paper towell over his mouth, then blowing it off suddenly. The whole family was cracking up, and Noah was laughing so hard I had to get the camera out.
