Guess Who is One Month Old?

Nate turned a month old on the 20th. Time flies!!! He is doing really good after figuring out that he had colic!!! I was talking to Holli on the phone the other night and Nate was screaming his head off like he had been doing for a couple of days. She pretty much stopped me in mid sentence to tell me our baby had colic!! I had no clue what that was, until she gave me the 411 on it. She knew because Kara Brooke ( aka Cutie Face ) had it. Everything she was saying about it Nate was doing. Screaming at the top of his lung and clinching his fist and his face would be red as a beet. It seemed like nothing we done would calm him. I looked it up on the Internet as well and discovered that running a vacuum would help. So when he would start with his fits I would start it up. I think I have burned it up because it was stinking and smoking really bad today. So now we use the vent on the stove or use his mobile that plays music and also has a heart beat sound on it. We switched his formula that night Holli told us about it and it seems to be helping he doesn't cry as much. Hopefully this want last much longer. If any of you have any other suggestion about how to calm him during his fits I would love to hear them!!

I know what you are going through, Nicolas had it for 3 months, we went on midnight car rides, burnt up a vacuum and sitting him on top of the dryer in his car seat worked for awhile. Hang in there, it will finally end.

Has Nate's colic improved??? I sure hope so. There were times when Heather cried so much with ear infections that I held her and we both cried.
