Wyatt will be two months tomorrow....CRAZY. He is getting so big, but is still such a tiny little guy.
The colic is getting better each day and we couldn't be more relieved. He is so much more alert and happy these days. He loves the morning times and is smiling so much - WHEN he is in the right mood. He still has his dramatic moments when he flails his arms and legs and squeezes the tiniest tears out like he is being tortured, but we are definately on the downhill slope of all the fussy-ness. He is totally different than even 2 weeks ago - Yay!
That being said....I attempted to go for a walk around the lake today. Notice I used the word "attempted." This walk was very planned out and I timed it when he would normally being going down for a nap. We got half way around the lake and I started thinking to myself, "Wow, I have this thing down! What a great baby I have! And what a great mother I am!" Then he woke up. He proceeded to cry, no WAIL uncontrollably. I immediately headed for the car, and took him out of the carrier. He cried the entire walk back to the car, which took about 30 minutes. When we got to the car, the little guy stopped and smiled. Hmmm...
Here is what I learned -
1. It's a crapshoot on whether he will be an angel or a terror. (So I need to plan for the latter)
2. People are stupid.
Don't say to someone with a screaming child - "Oh, someone's not happy." You friggin think so? Wow, thanks for letting me know because I was not aware that he was yelling in my ear. And if you see a situation like this, do not attempt to stop them and talk with them. Someone actually wanted to stop me and ask how old he was and crap. I just kept walking. They probably thought, "Well, she is a bad mother and rude!"
The three of us (4, sorry Lily) were in Wenatchee this week for Brian's grandpa's memorial. It was a sad time and a good time all in one. His family did a great job of coming together and remembering him. He was 96 years old and made such an impact on Brian's entire family's lives. It was nice to be a part of it all.

I think he looks a lot like you! He looks so cuddly. :)
Glad the colic is going away. It's making me nervous for Libby....
Oh man, I feel your pain. I cannot believe someone actually tried to talk to you. Nothing like chatting it up with a stranger when your tiny baby is screaming.
I am a little sorry for this next comment, but the fact that he was fine when you got to the car is a pretty funny move on his part.
