We saw a lot of this face this past week.
Breaks your heart, doesn't it?! The frown was usually paired with some sweet whimpers. He was an extremely good sport during his bout of sickness. Continued to sleep so well...would usually wake up once during the night coughing and crying at which point we would go pick him up, hold him for a few moments and then put him back down. He would fall right back asleep, within minutes.
Oh he was so sweet during the days as well, but not quite his normal playful self. Except for a few brief moments. One of these moments came quite unanticipated...during bedtime routine of all things. Since it was pretty cold last week, we started wrapping him in a special sleep sack that we used back in the day to help wean him from swaddling...just to give him an extra layer. The sleep sack allows you to either keep arms out and free or swaddle them in. As we were getting his little body in the sack, we decided to just swaddle his arms right in and see how he responded. He loved it! He was calm as he had been the whole day! Just kind of laid on the bed and looked sweetly around. Very surprised parents! We thought he'd immediately try to squiggle his way out of the wrap. As for the playful moment mentioned above...we happened to catch it on video, so enjoy!
