On Our Own

We are on our own again.  The grandparents, Aunt Lari and Uncle Tony left today for El Paso.  Aunt Pau went back to her apartment.  It's now just Daddy, Mommy, Sandy and Bevo taking care of John.  It's been less than a day and we already miss all the extra arms to care for John.

Daddy stayed alone for the first time with John this evening while Mommy went out to dinner with our friend Anne to celebrate her engagement.  Unfortunately, John took this time to act out for the first time.  He refused to be comforted.  He stayed awake and crying/fussing from 6pm - 10 pm.  Thankfully, he is finally sleeping after a change in clothes and being swaddled. 

This is before John decided to act up.

We believe he may be going through a growth spurt since he is eating every 1.5 - 2 hours since yesterday.  This made last night a little difficult.  We are trying a few tips from my friend Ticia tonight; hopefully we will get a little more sleep tonight. Wish us luck!
