What a fussy baby today!!!  Spencer didn't sleep after his first bottle, wasn't awake after his second, and barely napped in the afternoon.  Granted, it wasn't his fault.  Nadya's kids are sooooooo loud and completely unchecked.  I saw Frank and Melanie repremand their daughters, but never Nadya or Michel.  Not that this is unusual.  I feel bad for Sara and Audry b/c they don't understand why they get in trouble and M and V don't when they do the same thing.  I'm sure N and M are talking right now about how fussy Spencer was and how misbehaved S and A were.  How ironic.  They are clueless.  Poor little Spencer was trying soooo hard to go to sleep.  N offered for me to put him in one of the twins cribs, but I declined.  Maybe I should have, but I know I would have been upstairs constantly to check on him and he probably wouldn't sleep in such an unfamiliar place.  Also, there's a little bit of a yuck factor (especially at N's house - even brand new, it's already dirty).  You'd think she'd at least sweep the floor when she's having a planned, send out invitation kinda party.  Back to the point, he slept for maybe an hour and only fell asleep when I danced him on my shoulder.  He slept later for another half hour or so, but that was pretty much it.  He cried so much and so hard in the evening for about an hour.  I gave him a bottle, tylenol, orajel, and eventually he calmed down.  I think it was a combination of gas, fatigue and teething b/c he did calm a little after the orajel.  He's completely asleep now.  Poor little thing was hurting and tired.
