Gassy

Swe-cha has been gassy again during night time these past few days. He has not been eating anything new, nor have I, so we have not really determined what has been causing his gas early in the morning.

Anyway, so on Sunday morning, Swe-cha wakes up at 3a, starts tossing, turning and crying. We gave him Mylicon and kept applying Aceite de Manzanilla on his tummy and lower back and neither gave him any relief. Eventually, I told hubby to just get him to wake up because usually, when he's awake, he is usually able to pass gas easily. Hubby gets him up and true enough, he gives a long hard fart (heehee) within 5 minutes of getting up.

Unfortunately, while he is pain-free now, he is also awake. Hubby stays up w/him while I try to catch a few winks so I can take over his care in the morning.

Hubby tries to get him to sleep an hour later, at 5am, but even though he was showing signs of being sleepy, he refuses to sleep. He doesn't get back to sleep until 8am - at which time hubby was already feeding him breakfast and he fell asleep in his highchair while in the middle of chewing.

He wakes up at 11a and I take care of him, we don't wake Daddy up till 2p and when we went to Daddy, Swe-cha cradles Daddy's face and kisses him - drool and all. Daddy was startled because this was the first time that Swe-cha had ever kissed him and also because of Swe-cha's drool.

That night, Swe-cha would kiss him again while they're in the play yard.

That's twice in 1 day. I'm jealous. I kept asking Swe-cha to kiss Mommy but he ignores my request - he does want to be with me & play with me though, just no kissing.

Daddy says the kisses are to make up for the lack of sleep the night before, naglalambing raw so Daddy won't get irate :-)
