8 Weeks

Oh Reme Lynn,
This has been an interesting week, like last week each day you are different but you were consistent with one thing. The "witching hour" or as I have researched the "purple crying period" or colic. Two nights in a row at the stroke of 6:45pm you woke up from a dead sleep crying. It scared us. I mean out of nowhere you started crying and continued to do so inconsolably for at least an hour. Then the rest of the week you start to get fussy around 7pm and it will last anywhere from an hour to three hours. It is a very common behavior for babies and it's just mind boggling. Most nights your daddy hangs out with you during that time, we trade off as well. It truly tests our patience. There's really nothing we can do but just hang out with you until you're ready to be the sweet angel face that your normally are! 98% of the time you are a pure joy to be around!
 Other than that it has been a great week! We have spent a lot of time with our friends this week. We are extremely blessed with many wonderful friends in our life! One of my oldest friends Janet came to visit from Louisiana. She & I have been friends since 1999. We've only lived in the same state for a short period but have always remained in touch and manage to get together every once in a while. That is a true test of friendship, that you don't necessarily talk everyday or see each other very often but when you are together you laugh, share, console, support each other and love unconditionally. We spent time with Jaime, the LLBC (Lovely Ladies Brunch Club) and the Chuy's Mommy group. All wonderfully special and unique women. All of them are strong, intelligent, beautiful, honest and fun. I am honored to be friends with all of them and I am beyond pleased that you will hopefully be influenced by all of them in some way!






I'm looking forward to the weekend. The weather is just gorgeous and it is going to continue to be so. We will be outside as much as possible! You love it!




This week's favorite love handle! I love to kiss it and snuggle my nose into that sweet little crevice!


You are so very precious!
I love you,
Mommy

  1. It sounds like RL has colic. Ian had it. It's the absolute worst, but all you can do is ride it out. Hoping that is soon for you guys!!

    Glad you had a good visit. Missing you like crazy!
