R:He was fine until last night at about 10:30 when he woke up screaming
I couldn't figure it out, couldn't console him
and he just cried and screamed for about an hour...until I figured out that he misses you. When I asked him if he misses mommy, he said, "Yes" and quit crying
and then he went back to sleep
