The little man has been especially fussy the past few days.� If he's not fast asleep or eating, it's pretty safe to assume he's being a little cry baby.� Although we can usually pacify him by cradling him in our arms or bouncing him on our knees, sometimes that's not even successful.� And even if he is sleeping in our arms, once we put him in his crib or his Pack 'N Play, it's all tears again, which doesn't bode well for a smooth nighttime.� By the way, this makes it extremely difficult to blog (one-handed typing while Baby Lump is passed out on top of me isn't exactly easy).

Here's to hoping the muffin man is just going through some kind of growth spurt that will subside within a few days.� I'm just glad he didn't turn out to be a colicky baby from the get-go.� Still, I'll definitely be happy to have some smoother nights' sleep back.
