The Case of the WERE-BABY (like a were-wolf)

It sure is hard being parents. Every night Logan gets a case of the crankies from about 6 until 10. So Eric and I do everything we can to soothe the poor baby bear and it turns into a regular baby circus at our house every evening. Good times! Of course - we're counting our blessings - we got a very healthy baby with excellent lungs! And at least he's not doing his complaining at 2am. And... when he's not doing his grumpy thing at night, he's a dream child, snoozing away and gooing and being adorable - making us fall in love with him every morning so we'll be able to handle him lovingly every evening.

Brenna is on a no-wheat, no-dairy, no-nut diet - just in case he's sensitive to something like that - I know - all I get to eat is boring salads and eggs. And in the meantime, we're trying all kinds of other 'colic' remedies from lavendar oil to chammomile tea and all the tricks from "The Happiest Baby on the Block" book. We definitely are getting some good moments of peace here and there from all of the tricks we've learned for soothing babies - but man - we have to work for every minute of it!!! At least 'colic' only lasts until they are 3 months old, right? Well - wish us luck and think twice before inviting us to dinner for the next 2 months - we might come - but we'll probably have to leave before dinner is served!
