You are my sunshine

My Leo.
Until just now, you've been the sunniest baby I've ever known. And now you hurt. I'm sorry. Who knew that those vaccines would hurt so badly? Emma must have known that is was going to hurt when she yelled at the nurses, "Don't hurt my Yaya!"
We're hoping that the pain & fussiness will fade soon and that the sunshine in your smile will return. And then we'll be able to focus on the tasks at hand--getting you to start talking and gaining weight! And maybe to stop climbing on the table.
You are so brave! There is nothing you can't climb or conquer. While so far, you've remained uninjured, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we end up in the ER after some of your hijinks.
And now you sleep! Not so much at naptime, but at night you do, and for that I am thankful. The only complaint I would make is that you no longer want to cuddle and rock and sing the shema at bedtime. As much as I miss our sweet bedtime routine though, I do so love to see you sleep in your silly frog-legged position, head-cocked to one side, half-drunk bottle on your lips.
My Leo. You may not be smiling your sunny smile today... But you make me smile one of my own.
I love you.
