Every once in a while we have a rough day as far as naps are concerned. The boys are still in the phase where they basically eat and then go back to bed 20 minutes later, but today, they were both much more fussy than normal. Luckily, they weren't being fussy at the same time, so I was able to focus on whoever needed me more at that moment. Owen is in the first picture. He had been sleeping on my chest for about an hour when Eli woke up and was ready to eat, so I had to slide him onto the couch and pray that he'd stay asleep. He did!

Later in the afternoon, Eli started freaking out! He would be calm and relaxed, then jolt up and start screaming. He wasn't hungry and didn't need to be changed - he just needed a little TLC. The problem though, was that the longer he kept himself awake, the more cranky he became. When Charlie came home from work he tried wearing him in the baby bjorn, which worked like a charm! Turn your sound way up for this video - you can hear Eli snoring and the sound his paci makes at the same time. Such a tired little boy!
