Spoke Too Soon


So we thought the medicine was helping, but really Graham just had a good day when I created the last post. This video shows Graham after being fed and changed. Typical day. Right now it's raining outside so a walk isn't an option.

I've recently discovered a website called "The Fussy Baby Site" which lists characteristics of the "high needs" child. Almost every item on this list describes Graham except for the difficulty sleeping. Thank God he sleeps at night...during the day, not so much. He's taken one 45 minute nap today, and it's 2 o'clock right now. Ugh.

The blog on this site is pretty funny. It lists tips on how to live with your fussy baby. Practical advice like how to take a shower or cook dinner. One mom says, "Everyone deserves a shower! Ten minutes of crying won't kill your baby." She also suggests stripping down your baby (diaper and all), put them on a towel on the floor to catch any messes, and turn on some up-beat music very loudly. She swears it calms her baby down. Haven't tried it yet.
