It's going to be one of those weeks!

Today was another absolutely gorgeous day, which makes me very happy!  We had church this morning and Benjamin was smiley, cute, and happy!  

Then we went to a friends' open house for a little while afterward.  We tried to let Benjamin take a little nap beforehand because he was acting very tired but he slept 30 minutes then REFUSED to go back to sleep.  So we headed to the open house.  We got there and within 5 minutes I was changing a diaper blowout....fun, fun.  He was perfectly happy while we were there and started to act tired after about an hour.  He conked out in the car within 1 minute of being in his carseat, so we put him down when we got home....he slept 15 minutes then REFUSED to go back to sleep.  We tried to make him happy/entertain him the rest of the afternoon and sometimes we succeeded, sometimes we didn't.  We later went for a walk to Wal-Mart and he was still only in a good mood off and on.  He slept for only about a 1/2 hour.  

We hooked up his swing on our front porch which made him happy, again only off and on though.  

We got his pj's on and put him to bed, he was out within 2 minutes.  Then he sneezed, woke himself up and REFUSED to go back to sleep.  I just spent 20 minutes rocking him and singing to him while he fussed for the first 10 minutes.  He's now sleeping peacefully.  What a day.  
Everything I'm reading online shows that there's this 4 month wakeful period where their personalities, awareness, etc is changing making it so they are much more restless during their normal sleep periods.  I would think he might be sick but he doesn't have any symptoms like a fever or grabbing his ear or bad cough/stuffiness.  He's normally so happy, content and sweet!!  It could also be the beginning of teething because he's chewing on everything.

Let's hope this doesn't last too long or it's going to be one of those weeks!!
