So tired - interrupted sleep is just not good for anyone involved but it's better than none which is what we had for a while. :-) <br /><br />Don't blink - you'll be sitting at 4 months before you know it and carrying on a normal conversation that doesn't involve searching for the average, everyday words that are lost in the exhausted brain.<br /><br />Great to see your update!Chris and Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00066373076858618230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-10434515949772656402010-04-14T12:05:53.948-04:002010-04-14T12:05:53.948-04:00Happy one month together!

It sounds like Button is doing it exactly how he should. It also sounds like you both are doing a great job allow him to grieve and to encouraging bonding.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11247274435874561314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-27239327787750491042010-04-14T00:28:48.032-04:002010-04-14T00:28:48.032-04:00Brian and Rosemary, we could copy and paste this p...Brian and Rosemary, we could copy and paste this post as our own right now!<br /><br />Everything you are describing is exactly what we are seeing with Braxton. The fitful sleep, angry tantrums and random unconsolable crying, bath and diaper time unhappiness, screaming when we leave the room, the social butterfly, etc... At first Braxton ate everything and now he will eat nothing.<br /><br />I guess progress is not just a forward or backward process, more like all over the place!Jason Yutziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13935926521856428602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-41094819548100153412010-04-13T21:25:56.596-04:002010-04-13T21:25:56.596-04:00We could have written this same thing when we were...We could have written this same thing when we were first home, too. Maybe we did. I was so sleep deprived, I don't remember! =) Some adjustments take longer than others, but eventually, you'll be sitting with a friend who says "Look at that little boy - he is SO attached to his Mama - what a change from last year at this time." That was said to me *today* and it made me smile. It's been a long time coming but doesn't it feel good to move in the right direction?Robin and Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082614259938213897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-46589489161320880602010-04-13T19:21:57.765-04:002010-04-13T19:21:57.765-04:00It's comforting to hear how so many of us who ...It's comforting to hear how so many of us who adopt toddlers experience everything that you have with Button.<br />He is so blessed to have you both!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07395564165281446365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-54917154686635330022010-04-13T16:35:42.840-04:002010-04-13T16:35:42.840-04:00Wonderful progress, seems like he is right on trac...Wonderful progress, seems like he is right on track!

So thankful to hear that he is grieving in a healthy, normal way. But, boy I understand the exhaustion! I often felt like I was dealing with a toddler in a teenage body. But, like some other dear friends reassured us, it gets better with time and a year from now you'll look back see how much your child has progressed.chaniemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070645945655465424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-79598024386760797342010-04-13T15:37:48.457-04:002010-04-13T15:37:48.457-04:00Love the update!

I would like to put a link from my blog to yours, if that is OK? I love that you keep the blog fairly updated--can't imagine how hard that must be!Brazenlillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02959608921200375682noreply@blogger.com
