Growing Pains

I know you've heard of the term "growing pains."  Well, let me tell you that growing pains are real and it's very heartbreaking to see your baby experience them.
It started a few months ago and I had no idea what was going on until we talked to his doctor and to my mother-in-law.  Parker would all of the sudden start crying and he would try to stand up but couldn't, he would hold his knees and cry this horrific cry like he was in so much pain.
Sometimes the spells would only last about 10-20 minutes but lately he has had spells that last all night long.
When it hits, we rush him to the warm bath where we massage his legs and give him Motrin but the most discouraging feeling as his mommy is that nothing we do can actually make the pain stop.
He has set records for growing so much in a short period of time ~ if any of you moms have any secrets to help please pass them along to me.
Poor Parker ~ he is taking after his daddy in so many ways (I just hope he doesn't have a mustache by 6th grade). HA!
