Colic


I fear we may be learning what colic is, besides being effective birth control. Maybe it is evolutionarily advantageous? The baby is ensuring the exclusive care of his parents. It is also apparently the title of a thai horror movie. Colic is defined simply as "excessive crying." Excessive in character? Duration? Emmett apparently finds being awake in the evening w/o food to be intolerable. Sleep is also not an option before the horrors of the world have been identified with siren-like alarm. I guess maturity involves sublimating such horror into blogging, volunteering at animal shelters, and/or sarcasm.

One day soon I hope to remark on the joys of parenthood (and infancy). We are seeing more and more smiles. One day we will capture one by photo. Our hearts are in this thing 100%, but it can be pretty rough.
