Well, we are 11 days into this parenting gig and are no where near closer to figuring this little one out, namely in the sleep category. No two days have been the same, nor nights, and while adrenaline and reserves were getting us through the first week, today it has all caught up with us. Gus was awake for most of the day yesterday, which threw us for a loop. While he is awake there is not much multi-tasking to be done, as all focus is aimed at making the babe happy. He decided to call it a night early (at half-time of the Celtics vs. Lakers game that is), but was rearing for a midnight snack, and then was ready to start the day at 4am. He is mighty cute though, so while the grogginess tests our patience, Gus still has our hearts won over.

I don't dare move him as I type this entry one-handed!

So so so precious. It's amazing, isn't it, how much you want to just LOOK at him! I remember getting a crick in my neck on many occasions while nursing, as I stared down at the little face.
Would encourage you to (re)read "Happiest Baby On The Block. We swaddled Kira for months... TIGHTLY. Made all the difference for her. Every baby is different, but I know of many who have been helped by the techniques he outlines. Good luck to you as you figure out what works for sweet Gus.
Also, the colic hold -- which is not just for colic. google image it. it works!!!
we spent so much of our time with the babies in this position while we stood and rocked back and forth.
:)
love you guys -- these are precious/crazy/tough/wonderful times. people will say it flies by, but the truth is, some days don't and some do.

Just so, so delicious!! Keep the pictures coming - we just stare and re-stare - never tire of little Gus.
