Last night I noticed that Quincy was having difficulty breathing out of his nose (his mouth was occupied with a pacifier) and so I attempted to suction his nose but don't think that was effective. He slept from 10-2 and then was pretty much up all night after that. He slept very little, on and off, but was sleeping lightly and would awaken at the slightest noise and was very fussy. I could tell that he didn't feel well. He is usually pretty easily consolable but was not at all last night. He was like that all day today as well. I finally got out of the house, I think that we both were going crazy, and went to John's office. I had just fed him and I was talking to him and making faces. He has this look on his face, focused concentration I would call it. I stick out my tongue and raise my eyebrows and open my mouth wide. He is just looking, thinking. Then he sticks out his tongue too! I started laughing and then he smiled, a huge smile. He has not smiled like this before. He's sort of half-way smiled, but nothing like this. It was so fun! Then I started making noises and clicking my tongue--and he tried to imitate that too! It was like he was so proud of himself for sticking his tongue out and gave a big grin! So, after a long night and difficult day, I was in love with the little dude. I love him more everyday it seems--can hardly stand to be away from him. Crazy kinda love...

Stephen is sick too--so I totally get this post! Everything is off when they are sick--their eating, their sleeping--you can't count on them doing what they "normally" do. So it's a bit, well, annoying! But then Stephen will grin, or snuggle up real close--and I don't care that I'm tired, or covered in spit-up... You're right--it's crazy love!
