My ears are fuzzy constantly now from all of the screaming, and our family has learned to communicate through yelling over him, lets just say things are not boring around our house these day! Cohen has precious little moments intermittently that he is happy and not hurting from the colic, but oh those moments make everything else worth it!
Peyton is starting to act out a little more, he tries to scream over Cohen to be heard. He is getting testy with me when I am feeding Cohen. But for the most part he is just an active little toddler that wants to play and be played with. I think Peyton will be doing better (as will the rest of us) when Cohen starts feeling better and sleeping a little.
I will not even go into the breast feeding, lets just say that it is awful and painful but we are hanging in there.
With all of this said, I know having a newborn is a trying time, but I am trying to enjoy every little second because I KNOW I will miss this soon. I will miss our all night slumber parties where we get special alone time together, I will miss getting to breast feed and the satisfaction that comes from successfully keeping my child's belly full, someday I will miss all of the screaming and crying and hearing "ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma" 24-7. I know this is all just a season of life, and I am trying to soak it up! Look at this amazing little Monkey ... he is SO woth it all!

What an adorable little monkey! I just love monkies! :) So sorry to hear he's going through that. I love your attitude, even though I KNOW it has to be tough! Hang in there Dear!!!
Good job Angela! Keep it up. Stick it out 40 days and it gets better from there and then you won't even be able to imagine doing it any other way.
Have you read Happiest Baby on the Block or watched the video? Do you have a SwaddleMe, Halo Sleep Sack or the Miracle Blanket? We had a SwaddleMe and it helped us a ton with Bean.
Oh Angela, I am so sorry he's been dealing with colic! If you ever want us to come over so Peyton can have playmates and you can have a break from holding a crying baby, just call me! I hope things get better really soon. Sleep deprivation is so tough when you're going through a stressful situation. HUGS!
Worth it, but definitely trying and hard on you guys. I hope the colic clears up soon!
Cute monkey pjs! So sorry about the colic...hope it gets better soon!
oh, so sorry to hear that your poor babe is all colicy and grumpy! That's no fun at all. I hope he feels better soon so you can all get some relief. But I love how you're hanging in there and just soaking up the precious moments-- a great attitude. :)
praying for you!
he is so so so cute!!
