End of day Saturday...

The day began really well and I cannot say that it ended badly but I think Jimmy is cutting a new tooth, which has added to our drama a little. He took a small nap this morning when we went sightseeing and we could tell it wasn't enough. We got back here and had lunch and then put him down again. He slept for an hour which wasn't nearly as long as I had expected. When he woke up he just seemed out of it. We went down by the pool and then came up here to the baby lounge.

We have friended a family from Florida and their son is named Timmy, which is kind of cute. Well the two of them were having fun. Timmy isn't crawling yet. He is darn close - actually might end up skipping it and go on to walking. Timmy was in the walker and Jimmy was on the floor. Timmy seemed fascinated. Jimmy was trucking around and Timmy kept trailing behind him in the walker. I have a great picture of Sean (Timmy's Dad), Timmy and Jimmy in this big line. Really cute. Later they both had dinner here in the lounge and then played a little more. They were too fast for me, but they gave each other a hug. I caught the aftermath in a picture but I missed the hug. We've decided that we will have to keep in touch. Too cute.

There are lots of families here so we have had some great conversations. Families from Texas, Pennslyvania, Boston, Florida, Cali... The list could go on and on. We have heard about families from Ohio that are here as well, but we haven't met them yet.

After his afternoon nap Jimmy just seemed a little out of it. Playing and laughing still but there were times that he would just zone. Then the drool and the poop. Lots of poop. Brian attempted a poopy diaper change and it did not go well. On top of everything (him gagging, Jimmy not quite clean yet rolling over) the diaper stayed off too long and there was a shower. Man did it travel. Brian was peed on and I was pooped on. Too funny. We got him in the sink and cleaned up. He literally sat in the sink chewing on the faucet while I gave him his bath. We gave him som oragel and that seemed to help but not completely. I also gave him some medicine for gas.

He has started a new thing. Every once in awhile he will start shaking his head no. If you shake yours yes he will get really vigorous and shake no. It is really funny. He was fighting sleep and obviously not feeling great (we bought a forehead thermometer at the store downstairs - no fever - just teeth). I am rocking him, trying not to look at him too much because I know he is close, and he starts shaking his head NO! Brian had to cover his face he was laughing so hard.

All things considered once the rocking started it took all of 9 minutes for him to fall asleep. The foster mother said he put himself to sleep and he really hasn't done that yet for us, but rocking is a great bonding time so we are taking advantage of it.

We hope to go to Antigua but might skip it tomorrow and try Monday. We didn't get the call in to Veronica in time to set it up for tomorrow and I want to see how he is feeling.

More to come I am sure...
