Regressing to a four month old

Sheesh. I don't know what's going on with Jack today, but he's been major grumpy all morning. Last night at 11:00, he woke up screaming and the only thing that calmed him down was a bottle of milk. This morning he was pleasant enough, until about 9:00. He suddenly got really cranky. I tried to put him in the car to take him to a park, but we didn't even get him buckled into the car seat because he threw such a huge fit. After that, I set him down on the driveway with a toy truck and figured he could play here, at home. Well, not five minutes later, he leaned over too far and bumped his head on the driveway, causing a little bump and a little abrasion. It looked like it hurt, but geez, you should have heard him. Actually, you probably did. I know all the neighbors did. He screamed bloody murder. We went back inside and the only thing that would calm him this time was Pee Wee's Playhouse.

Then it was naptime, which seemed perfect because he definitely seemed tired and that being tired was the likely cause of all the tantrums and the head bump. Well. The nap didn't go over so well at first. He threw another fit, the type where I get worried that he's gotten so worked up he's going to puke. He didn't and after I gave him a very unscheduled bottle of milk, he calmed down and went to sleep.

I hope this afternoon brings a happier child. God.
