TIRED. Today was a long day. Caleb was a fuss bucket, and he proved to me that he still knows how to YELL. He wanted to be carried all day long, wouldn't take a nap longer than 15 minutes, and just was in a general bad mood. Highlight of the day was during one calm, happy period when I was able to read him Dr. Seuss' ABC book...he actually smiled a lot during the reading.

Dave came home, Caleb continued his antics. We gave him a bath and a bottle, which put him to sleep for maybe an hour. Just a few minutes ago he was fussing hard so we gave him a dose of Colic Calm...he is now asleep on the couch. We hope that he will behave tonight because we have to go to St. Peter and Paul for a class/interview to get him baptized so he's staying home with his grandma Colmenares...and this is the first time he's alone with someone other than me, Dave, or my mom...and he threw a huge fit yesterday evening when the family was over and Dave's mom had a hell of a time trying to calm him down...which didn't work and eventually I took him and got him settled. She finally got to see what he's REALLY like. He'll eat again in another half hour or so...so at least that will take some of the time that we're gone. I just hope he doesn't fuss the whole time we're gone. I'm going to pray hard while we're gone...
