"it's 3 am I must be lonely"

So...did I mention that 6 weeks (6 - 7) is when children go through a "growth spurt" and are the most active, fussy and difficult? Just in time! Thunder (the name Buck calls our new little guy, in case you're wondering) is becoming really active and socially great - but much more fussy. I guess this is the age of the most calls to Children's services as well (I can almost see why). Up at 11 pmish - awake until 1 am - up at 3am awake until 5ish - up at 6am because this is normally when Buck begins screaming for us. Good news is that Thunder normally sleeps from 1pm to 5pm in the afternoon. If we can just get that long sleep to transfer to the night time.

Still a joy to have a boy. Just practicing our "attaching" - the new word for bonding.

Buck and I had a "mommy and Buck" afternoon at the zoo while Thunder stayed home with Grandma Joad. He was asleep the entire time, which makes me feel less guilty. And Buck had an EXCELLENT time explaining the sting rays to everyone.
