Go Team Paxton!

Scott was starting to feel the negative effects of going to bed late and then having to get up at six o'clock in the morning to feed Paxton. This wasn't even the half of it since Susanne was there to help share the load. Susanne was thankful for the extra couple hours of sleep because she was up from around 3:30 am until about an hour later calming a very unhappy Paxton. For the last few days, he had been getting up shortly after his midnight feeding. He would wake up out of nowhere wailing as if he were in pain. After being comforted, he would calm right down. They initially thought it could be gas build-up so Susanne gave him a dose of Mylicon. She eventually got him to settle.

Their day started a little later than expected. Once they were finally up, Susanne made banana nut muffins for breakfast. It was so nice to have Scott to wake up next to.

Shortly after breakfast, they decided to clean the house some before the weekend rolled around. They got off to a slow start, especially because Susanne had some important phone calls to make before the end of the day.

They spent some quality time wth Paxton. Then they both took their turn doing therapy with the little guy. His head control continued to improve. He was visibly getting stronger and, of course, fatter by the minute. It was obvious at this point that he needed to upgrade to the next size in diapers.

After a long day of working hard, they decided to reward themselves by ordering dinner to be delivered to the house. Scott treated himself to another soda since he had gone three months without it. It was such a sweet treat after a long day. They snuggled on the couch and enjoyed each other's company the rest of the night. This was a little slice of heaven.
