So, we got back from our trip Wednesday evening. Phew. The trip seemed longer coming home, which is odd. I always thought that trips back seemed faster! This is probably because Jack fussed a lot, Evie wined a lot, my shoulder was very sore, and Jack pooped twice! I still don't understand why Jack likes to poop in the van!

The trip was great! I am so proud of Evelyn! She went on kid water slides, swam, and was very independent! I am also very proud of Jack. He, with much effort on my part, went in the water. . .several times! I had to hold him close to me, and his cuddled very close, but I was able to get him in the water! Jack slept pretty well on our make-shift crib. Other than the usual fussing over night, Jack didn't do anything different. He even stayed awake late, all stubborn and playing! Boy, oh boy, was Jack happy when we put him in his crib last night! He was bouncing and giggling!

Here's our concern. For the past 3 days, Jack has been hitting his head when mad or in pain. He's also been hitting me and throwing his body when we hold him. The plus side of Jack's attempts at communication is that he holds up his tube when he wants is vented. I don't like the head hitting. I don't know what to do about it. He hits himself really hard! Last week we was pulling at his hair when he was mad. Now, he's hitting his head. Does his head hurt?!

Oh, and no change to his belly/gut issues. Jack will be having an upper-GI performed Monday morning and then he sees the GI specialist Monday afternoon. I'm not sure what they are looking for, but hopefully we come up with a cure!
