Cayden weighed 12 pounds, 10 ounces today, and I added a "growth chart" on the side, so I can remember his growth rates.

The fussy bruitzer seems to have hit a stage where he won't fall asleep (meaning he cries and cries and cries) unless he's being held by someone. And usually that someone also has to be bouncing or swaying him.

I got used to carrying 19 pounds around my middle, but constantly rocking and bouncing 13 pounds at my ribs is a whole 'nuther story. My back hurts. But the excercise ball and sling are helping.
