The Crying Myth

Ok, so I read that young babies cry for several reasons:

1. Hungry
2. Colicky
3. Poopie
4. Bored
5. Tired

All lies.... Some babies (Ella) cry just for fun and other babies don't cry (Jack) for any of the above. Hopefully, there's some truth to the rumor that someday they will be able to console themselves...

Other than the crying bit, this week is going pretty well (at least for me and the babies, but poor Kristy got a nice, hot, milk bath from Jack last night.)

I'll be honest- the newborn stage isn't my favorite. It gets so much better! And easier! Every time you think they can't be any cuter, they get cuter. Hang in there. The crying only lasts for 6months or so. :)

Think of it this way...when they cry they are exercising their lungs so it is good for them. Plus it does tire them out. Samantha cried a lot - they do get over it. Just look at the pictures and how cute they are when they aren't crying, that will help you through it.
