Uncomfortable baby

There's nothing quite like holding a sleeping baby on your lap!  This morning ec and I went to the post office, Walgreen's and Kohl's, walking all around the shopping center.  He fell asleep before Kohl's. I guess my shopping was not exciting enough for him!  He took a bottle at 11:30 or so, guzzling it down yet stopping occasionally to cry.  He often does this on Mondays, when thawed milk fills his bottles.  He napped again later, but woke up crying hard.  I picked him up and he hushed, returning to sleep.  But when I tried to lay him down the screaming started.  So I ended up holding him for quite a while.  When my neck/shoulder got tired, I just eased his bottom down to my lap so I wasn't holding him up.  I didn't mind; I was trying to finish reading Option B by Sheryl Sandburg, an ebook due in a couple of days, so this provided some extra time.  He drank another bottle when he woke, without the ear-piercing sound effects.  We then sat out on the deck in the shade, looking at the wisteria and feeling the breeze.
