Growing up

Weston playing with his friend Samuel at school
 Occasionally I get to visit Weston at school when I have a few free hours in the afternoon that's not enough time to take him home and long enough that I can stay for a good while to feed him and play.  Tonight I am on call and we didn't have clinic today...but I still had to go to the hospital this morning for lectures and to see a immunology consult in the Children's Hospital.  I'm a morning person, so I don't mind coming in early and doing these things, but when I have a big hole in my schedule in the afternoon it's stinky.  I certainly don't want to hang out in the resident's lounge and "read journal articles" when I can go and visit my boy for a little while instead.  When I got to Weston's school this afternoon he was screaming up a storm, and I could tell that his teacher was relieved to see me...little did she know I was staying for a visit and not taking his fussy bum home.  After a diaper change and about 15 minutes more of fussing, Weston finally settled down and took a little nap while I rocked him in the rocking chair.  I know he didn't feel too well and really needed a nap, but I couldn't put him down, so I just held him until he woke up about 40 minutes later.  Then he took a bottle and was recharged and ready to play.  We were just about to try the exersaucer when we decided to put Weston down with another little boy (only about 1 month older) and let them play with this Sesame Street pop-up toy...a good use of tummy time, because by the time he gets home at night he does not want to play on his tummy.  I just can't believe how much he's grown up already...it goes so quickly.  Next week Weston will be 4 months old.
