Sixth Week Peak

So the books say that fussiness peaks at about 6 weeks. Well, we hit 6 weeks tomorrow and let me tell you, we are in fussy town that's for sure! Hopefully after the peak things will calm down... fingers crossed... In the meantime, here are some cute pictures. Enjoy and be thankful that some of them don't come with an audio clip!


One of my all time favorite photos, taken today - my cousin Ari's fabulous fiance Becky - who comes from a family of 7 - showing us novices how to soothe a bawling baby. Apparently it's so easy she has a free hand for a beer.



Cute picture of a soon to be pissed off baby. She hates getting changed!



Looks like she's drunk on milk, but really she was drunk from being carried by her daddy. This picture was taken after a long walk in our favorite Ergo carrier. Our not so secret weapon against crying jags.


Emma and her daddy on one of our first outings! We went to Ft. Greene Park with some new friends from our childbirth class. The little boy baby in the photo was born the day after Em. Both babies were in a rush to get out of the womb. He was 4 weeks early. His mama and I went for cupcakes the Friday before the babies were born and so we think there might have been something more than sugar in the batter.



I like to call this one, "Calm Before the Storm" the storm being our sweet little angel baby. She sure has a set of lungs on her!

She is so sweet! Still so tiny. Don't worry, it does get better, the peak is upon you. I barely remember those fussy patches, except when I'm reading your blog and going.....oh yeah, the power of the bouncy ball, I remember. Hang tight. :)
