LOTS OF CRYING

I am a very happy baby. Most people would not believe that for about a month I cried .. a LOT! Usually I would be happy until about 4pm and then the witching hours started. I would scream and scratch and not stop for hours - Dad says I turned into another baby. Mom and Dad would try everything and I mean everything that anybody or any book told them to try. It was rough. Our cousin Cathy told Mom that I would be really intelligent after this colic phase passed. She was right because it did pass and I am indeed super smart (confidence I got from my dad)!

My mom did not take a single photo of me during my screaming fits - can you believe that!? It upset her so much she did not even want a photo. Although now she wishes she had. Now she knows that not all the new baby moments are pretty but they are all important and special.
