Another Sleepless Night

|
Every day is different, and so is every night. Yesterday, Gabi was sleeping all day long. Literally. As soon as he started to eat, he fell asleep: With his hands in a starfish position, mouth open, eyes shot closed... and there is no way to wake him up. But, unfortunately, at night, he woke up and was awake all night long. Once again, I did not get to sleep... oh well. 

Because he ate so little yesterday (just under 30oz), he also barely pooped. He did poop at night, but nothing too crazy. He didn't poop all the way until after his morning walk and a full bottle of milk. In fact, he pooped four times in a row, every time in a new diaper. That was one (four, actually!) pretty expensive poop! Still, every poop makes up so happy. It is very upsetting seeing him struggling to poop, fussing and getting all red.

Zachary continues to whine. It doesn't mean that whining is all he does, but because we see him so little during the day, it seems like he spends more time whining than being happy or neutral. According to BabyCenter, it is actually a good thing: 
Is your toddler a ray of sunshine at daycare but a thundercloud when you show up on the scene? These end-of-day meltdowns are actually signs of true love. Your child knows that it's safe to let out all of his pent-up feelings around you. While you may be tempted to run a few errands on your way home, you should probably put those tasks on hold until your child's more agreeable.
Not sure whether it is true or not.
