Today was my very first 4th of July, and boy was it a doozy! I was very content this morning. Grandma and Grandpa W came over and played with me. Everything was going fine until about 1 p.m. Around that time, I had some really bad tummy pain, and it just wouldn't go away! I had to cry on and off all the way until 10 p.m. I think I heard Mommy and Daddy say something about running away.
I'll have to try extra hard to be good from now on, because 9 hours of crying is just too much, even for a little baby like me. I don't know why I get stomach pain sometimes and not others. Mommy and Daddy are working really hard to figure it out so that they can help my tummy to feel better.
I did do one really cool thing today. When mom raised her arms up, I raised mine. When she lowered them, I lowered mine. I am turning into a copycat. I also was able to copy mom's smile and her surprised face. I tried snapping my fingers like mom did, but I think I am going to have to work on that one.
The fireworks in the neighborhood started at around 10 pm, but I didn't mind. There is a nice ceiling fan in my room that makes a swooshing sound, plus I was so tired from all that crying today that I couldn't help but to fall fast asleep.
Maybe you've already tried this, but we had some success with infant massage for both tummy pain and fussiness. There's a great book by Viamla McClure. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThe part about running away made Grandma and Grandpa M. laugh so hard!
