Play with you no fun, Dr. Jones

I'm developing a theory that J.R.R. Tolkein must have had kids because he totally based hobbits on babies. For instance, Lil J generallly has breakfast, second breakfast, elevensees, etc.... And he loves to sleep, he doesn't wear shoes and he avoids fighting orcs as much as possible. Just try to find holes in this theory! Just try!

I'm so relieved because he's been crying so much lately, but I walked him around for half an hour and he finally fell asleep. I don't know if he's techincally colic-y or not, but he sure does cry a lot. I suspect it's because he's figured out that it's been a month now and we're not putting him back in the womb. That's got to be hard to accept.

does he typically cry a lot after meals? it could be gas..lord, Emma Helen was gassy! :) Swaddling worked wonders with EH when she was tiny.

swaddling, white noise (hair dryer, kitchen exhaust fan, static on tv or even just shushing in his ear), swinging/bouncing (the faster the better)- these all worked wonders for us. But I also agree with Beth, Logan was quite gassy as well. A pacifier also helps if he will take one, but Logan wouldn't take one that young.
