Homage to the Rays

What a weekend I had. Like the Tampa Bay Rays, I went from worst to best overnight. Literally. According to my parents, I had my worst night yet on Saturday night. I screamed from 5:30pm-10:30pm with little reprieve. I was quiet during the car ride they took me on in hopes it would make me fall asleep. I didn’t fall asleep, much to their chagrin, but I was at least quiet during the ride and gave their ears a short break. Finally, dad made a desparation run to the pharmacy for some Gripe Water (it’s a concoction of ginger, fennel, and sodium bicarbonate or something like that to help the tummy). Well it must have worked because I finally went to bed shortly thereafter. But I was up at my usual 1:30am and 4am feedings. I did sleep in until 10am though. So that was my worst night. Then the very next night, I had my best night yet. I slept for 8 whole hours – from 8pm until 4am. Granted I didn’t want to go back to bed at 4am so mom had to stay up with me until 6:30am when I finally gave in to sleep thanks to a little of that Gripe Water stuff. If mom was smart, she would have given it to me when I ate at 4am instead of waiting until 6am. Duh!

I got to spend lots of time with family this weekend. Grandpa and Grandma Kruepke came over Saturday because one of mommy’s colleagues, Kamela, trained mom, dad, grandpa and grandma in infant and child CPR. Then Sunday, we went to Grandma and Grandpa’s house and visited while watching football. After the first football game, we went to Uncle Scott & Aunt Mollie’s house to watch the Packers beat the Colts. So once again, mom, dad, and I spent a Sunday watching football.

Not much else to say. I’m smiling a lot and am awake and alert quite a bit during the day. I still don’t take many naps. If I do nap, it’s usually a catnap. What a life! Hope you all have a good week and enjoy the fall colors.

Love,
