Week Seven - The High Needs Baby

This has been the most challenging week for Mommy as August has been sick and very "high needs."  We originally thought that August was bored or just crying constantly because of growing pains (August now weighs 11lbs 11 oz) but we now know that he was coming down with something.  Our doctor has prescribed an array of homeopathic treatment until we get the lab results, but it looks like we both have some sort of bacterial infection.

As a result of Mommy's varied attempts to soothe August over the past week, Mommy has learned that August loves to dance to James Brown, his favorite toy is the musical monkey with the belly that lights up, and what worked yesterday will definitely not work today!  Despite Mommy's exasperation and exhaustion, August will always give Mommy at least a few big smiles during the day, which makes it all worth it.
