Not a whole lot to report today. Carter has been doing AWESOME during the nights! He's sleeping 3 hours in between feedings and he goes right back to sleep after he eats. The only problem we seem to have is his "cranky period" which occurs every evening. There just doesn't seem to be anything we can do to comfort him. I was very concerned about this at first, dreading the worst, thinking it could the beginning of colic. So I did some research and it turns out that it's completely normal for newborns to be cranky in the evening, quite common actually. So, Mommy & Daddy just bear with the little guy and try our best to make him feel better until he can calm down. Our other child, Maggie, went to visit G-ma & G-pa at the farm for a couple days. We thought maybe she could use a few days of fun since she hasn't been getting all the attention for the past few weeks. I think I'll vacuum today; it's so much easier to clean when she's gone b/c she chases the vacuum and tries to bite it! Guess that's the Heeler in her!
We introduced Carter to his bouncer last week. He seems to like it, but he goes to sleep almost instantly when we put him in it! I didn't get a picture of it, but yesterday he was actually awake in the bouncer and seemed somewhat interested in the lights and music and it was playing!
