Something has been up with Nate for the past week. He just isn't acting himself... He's super fussy, unamused by activities he usually loves (e.g., going outside), not eating very much at lunch or dinner, taking very short naps (though that isn't very unusual), and generally just a big crank. He hasn't necessarily seemed sick except for one episode early last week, so I don't know what it is (more teeth coming in? He's never acted this bad about that before). Although I feel bad for him if something is wrong, it's just feeling more and more overwhelming for me. Son, I need just a little break!
In happier Nate news, he did have his 18-month appointment last week and is doing well. He weighs 25 pounds 8 ounces (50th percentile), is 33 inches tall (75th percentile)--or, as I like to say, he's 2 foot 9--and still has a big ol' head (90th percentile).

Poor Nate! I hope that he is happier soon (for all of your sakes). Has anything major changed? Is the weather different or have you moved any furniture in the house? Maybe this will turn out to be a blessing and his frustration will lead him to speak so that he can communicate what's upsetting him. Or (I hope not!), maybe it's an early onset of the Terrible Twos!
I have wracked (sp?) my brain and can't think of anything that has changed in his environment or diet. I also thought about the Terrible Twos but just don't think that's it either. We'll see if today is better.
Oh, and after reading this post again, it would seem that his crankiness/sickness might be related to something at his doctor's appointment (e.g., exposure to sick kid, or getting his vaccinations), but he started acting funny a couple of days before his doc appointment, so that isn't it...
