Times are Tough

It's been a very long couple of weeks in the Boo house.  Jakson just hasn't been himself lately.  We think it's teething but it could also be a million other things!  Let's see...what has gone on:

1. I mentioned the sleep issues in my last post, well he's completely stopped sleeping at night.  He's gone from a great routine to waking every hour.  It's so bad and has lasted so long that we're actually bringing him into our bed to sleep with us.  This is the only way he actually sleeps.  Last night Rob slept on the sofa and Jakson and I slept in the bed so we could all get some sleep. 
2. He's had a fever off/on for the past couple of days.  Nothing major but it's on the edge of 99/100F which is quite scary. 
3. Today he had a rash on his back and chest.  We were so worried we rang the NHS hotline to find out if we should do anything but they didn't seem concerned about the rash.  They were more concerned about the fever so we are watching it very closely.
4. He's not pooping.  This isn't as alarming as you might think as he's always had a long wait for a poo - since he was born really.  He usually goes once a week and the farts get stinkier and stinkier as the days go by.  Today is day 6 and he's still not gone, but we've had a couple of dirty farts so I think it's in the cards for tomorrow.  I hope.  But again the NHS nurse said this is quite normal and nothing to worry about.
5. We tried to give him formula last night - this is the first time since he was born.  I'm pretty sure he hated it b/c he would only drink an ounce and kept pushing the bottle out with his tongue.  But he happily fed off the breast five minute later.  Moving him to formula may be a bit of challenge.

With all of the above going on you'd think he'd be a miserable little boo but he's actually been quite happy the last couple of days.  Go figure, eh?  I think the fact that he's pretty happy during the day is what's keeping us sane and preventing us from rushing him to the A&E.  Just wish he'd return to a lovely sleeping boo in the night...one day...maybe???

Here are some pics and vids of our lovely little boo lately. 

Do you remember when he didn't fit in the swing?
Now he can wiggle his way out of it!!

Happy boo posing with daddy.

Heading out for some fun in the sun.

Chillin in our new sun tent.

And some recent videos.  Jakson LOVES the new ball his great Nanna Rose got him. He loves it so much he wants to eat it...

And here is Rob and Jakson enjoying what is likely our last day of summer here in England. 



And here is how we get Jakson to giggle these days.  This little piggy...
