Nice hat! He weighed in today at 6 lbs, 10 oz.
He was a bit of a gremlin today. The boy just did not want to sleep today!
Nisha has her techniques to calm him down and make him sleepy, and I have mine. Hers is very nurturing and soothing. Mine is:
1. Bundle him TIGHT.
2. Put a pacifier in his mouth even if he doesn't want it. He'll get upset enough to want to suck on it.
3. Even in the bundle, hold his arms down so they can't move at all no matter how hard he tries to fight it.
Mine is not very friendly. Mine also doesn't create independence. I need to learn the real ways! Nisha's ways are really nice, and she's starting to develop that Mommy touch that I can't replicate.
Like how he throws that left hook at the very end?

Yep, the bundle technique will stop working after a few more months. The bundling actually will make Kavi MORE mad! Just remember, you will never be mom... but you will always be dad.
Swadling and snuggling worked great for Claire to calm her down but Parker wouldn't have anything to do with it. I wonder if it's just that boy's don't like it that well... It's still awesome to see the major fundamental psyche kind of differences between Claire & Parker. Read the book Wild At Heart. It's a good read.
