Week Seven

You were so expressive and so CRANKY this week.  We tried baby wearing with limited success.  As long as we were on an outing you loved both of you carriers, but as soon as we would enter the house you would start to scream.  You loved going for walks, but it was so hot it was hard to find a good time to take you.  You Dad discovered a way to calm you down where you would start by sitting on his right knee facing his left knee and you would slowly droop over until you were laying down on his left leg.  You really liked going to sleep like this.  I called the Droopy Baby technique.  Unfortunately we would get you to sleep, but then if we tried to move you, you woke up.  So we spent a lot of time watching television with you sleeping on our laps.  Thank god for Netflix!  Our lives revolved around feeding you and getting you to sleep.  We had a visit from Dan and Melissa and River.  River gave you some stuffed animals (a Bulldog and Bulldog puppy) that Melissa and Dan got for him before he was even adopted.  It was a special present.  He really seemed to love you even though you screamed a good portion of the time they were here.  River drew us a picture of our family while he was here, very sweet.  You are such a blessing to our lives and even when you are fussy we just love you so much!
