Bouncer!

Kavi got a bouncer the other day. One more toy for him, expensive toy, that soothes once in awhile, but not all the time. Yesterday late afternoon he was actually acting like he had colic. He was non-stop crying, virtually unsoothable. He was hungry and tired and wouldn't eat or sleep. Just cry.

I came up with a new method that did work, but maybe it only worked because he was so tired and such. So I'm sure it probably won't work again, but it did last night. What I did was (of course) bundle him good, and hold him while I started DANCING! He actually enjoyed that and passed out. He slept good, for 3.5 hours. He took his full feed, and slept pretty decently after that as well.

So we'll have to see how today goes. If he acts like that again, I'll try dancing, and see if it works...maybe Nisha can videotape it, although I look like a total fool...all the more reason to videotape it!

Oh, and congratulations to Mike and Jenny Daab on the birth of their baby boy Keaton! Keaton and Kavi were supposed to be born about a week of each other...I guess Kavi got a little impatient!

So since Kavi had his unsoothable crying fit yesterday, he hasn't gained any weight. He is at 6 lbs 13 oz. Our rule is that we keep the newborn scale until he hits a solid 7 lbs.

Here he is in his new bouncer, which he will actually let us feed him when he's in there!
