Disclaimer: I took K to the pediatrician this morning and exam checked out fine....blood work is being run.
For about two weeks, Kai has been sleeping poorly, always seems tired and has been mopey. He doesn't eat well unless it's one of his favs. When he wakes up (from nap or in the middle of the night) he cries...and holding, rocking, cuddling doesn't stop the crying. Nursing does, but he doesn't always ask for it....as they get older I move towards a "don't offer don't refuse "kinda weaning style....though I've been offering because I don't like the crying. It's that sad tired pathetic kind of cry. The one that just screams "hold me!". Kai has never been like this. He was my great sleeper, my eat anything, happy go lucky kid. We had sleep and eat issues this summer, but no crying, and they resolved. Even v-girl thought he looked off at the park. He didn't seem happy to be there. He will screech and play and go crazy with Daegan, but it's not as often, and in between he's really cranky, whiny, grumpy. He's always tired and ready for a nap. He goes to bed just fine, lays down and falls asleep on his own...he just isn't staying asleep more than 2 hours...and he wakes up ROUGH! He is cutting his last molars, but he never had trouble with the other teeth.
Anyway, the best description I have for his behaviors is depression. Maybe it is just the adjustment of new baby (7weeks)... Oh and when Russ was gone for the weekend, everything got worse. And he kept asking about daddy.
. Poor kid.
