Colic?

Okay, I never truly understood Colic until Marley came along. She really is a colic baby. She cries or fusses about 90% of the time she's awake. Let me tell you, we CHERISH those few moments when she isn't screaming. All this fussing also makes it hard for her to sleep during the day. We are definitely tired, however, very happy and blessed. Marley is six weeks old today, and I couldn't be more excited -- supposedly colic is supposed to start getting better starting at six weeks. I'll let you know. Other than that, things are just wonderful. Cash keeps us thoroughly entertained... he loves his little sister and dogs and everyone around him basically. He keeps us sane through the cries. :) Sad/happy news: Eric, Andrea and Eva are moving back to CA today. I'm sad because I love having them around, but happy because that's what they're supposed to do, and they get to live 10 minutes from a beach. We are definitely going to visit them. Also, anyone that knows Lakai Lee (son of Scott and Chrissy), keep him in your prayers! I'm going to post a few pictures from our very enjoyable day at the park yesterday, the Hawks game and some others.

We'll miss those three... Good Luck!

Lincoln was reunited w/ his chicken, thanks to Heather.

Little Piggies.

Yeah, I love this picture. Our pea pod
Go Hawks!
First time w/ the head phones.
She liked the game -- at first.


Learning how to run & kick at the same time!
This is how we often see Marley... it looks funny on camera!

Our monkey.


Marley Jane is under there somewhere. (It was windy)

It looks like he's in trouble, but in reality he's getting a squish face & kisses.
He's all mine.
Finally she fell asleep -- so precious.





Probably the cutest video we have of our little Cash.

I can only imagine how difficult it must be to have a little one that cries because her tummy hurts all the time. Hang in there. You are such a good mom...it will get better. I am sure you will be telling me the same in 3 months. We love you guys and miss you!

Mary I feel your pain. All three of my kids had colic. It lasted till they were almost 6 months old. I hope you have better luck.

My girl had colic. Milacone(i'm not sure and spelling) and Dr. Browns homeopathic colic tablets were our best friend. She was awful and would scream bloody murder the WHOLE time we drove anywhere and nighttime was a fun time! Hang in there! I hope that helps and that you are doing well!
