Mr. Smiley

This post is all about Chase, since he's basically the reason I started the blog. He is doing well. We went through a period of lots of fussing (it was intense) from about week 3 thru week 6. It seemed like all he did when he was awake and wasn't eating or in the tub he was screaming, a terrible high pitched shrill scream. I am pretty sure he had some form of colic. He also hardly napped so I bet exhaustion played a part as well. It is starting to get better. He naps 3 times a day for about 20 min. to an hour each time. He is sleeping really well at night and only gets up once to eat, sometimes twice. We have established a bedtime and routine for him and usually he goes to bed without a fight, though not always! He still is quite fussy, but not as much as he used to be, so my life has gotten somewhat better. When he is fussy he is able to be consoled, unlike before. The biggest news is he has started to smile and it is so adorable. It's fun finally being to interact with him and get a reaction from him. Anyway, my computer battery is about to die and I do need to get to bed since it is almost midnight and I will have to get up in a few hours, but pictures will be posted tomorrow!
