Growth Spurt

The last few days Gabriel has been more fussy than usual, hasn't slept well and wants to eat all the time.  Ty and I put him to bed last night and thought 'what is up with our little boy?'  After a few seconds of talking about his recent behavior, it dawned on us - growth spurt!  From what I read, a physical growth spurt takes place at around 6 months, and a mental one at 8 months.  Both of which involved fussy babies, disrupted sleep and lot of eating.  He was actually pretty good today, and ended up sleeping not only well last night - but until 9:00am!  Poor little guy - that growing thing is rough.
