OMG! This kid is cute. He wasn’t all that super expressive in this video, but rest assured he is smiling like crazy now. I’ll save this for the next video.

A recent visit by Grandma and nana’s baseball outfit provide for some great photo ops. Definitely check out the whole set to see the artsy side of Lawrence.

  • There seems to be a few minutes to hours every evening when the kid completely can’t be consoled.
  • One thing that seems to work is to pull out the toys. It’s my contention that the early evening is the time of day that kids have their most energy, and the newborn toys seem to help kids get this energy out.
  • Another thing we’ve tried with great success is to stand him up on our laps. Stacey and I wrap our hands around his chest and back, so our fingers can support his neck. Then we raise him up for a few minutes and bounce him so he is on his feet sort of. This helps him build strength and coordination with his feet and legs, and also he appears to like to have this sense of control over his body.
  • After a few minutes, we usually get tired of holding him up, so we can kind of drop him a bit where his knees touch our laps and get the same response.

Please let me know if anyone gets a similar response.

I’m in the midst of getting a new computer. My current machine has no sound, so I’m really not sure what this movie sounds like. Rest assured, the moment I have some time, I will start making movies o … n the new computer and add some soundtrack action. For now, we’re staying raw with the non crying life of the baby.

Our First Movie of Lawrence http://wemadethisbaby.com/2007/12/09/what-is-crying-all-about-our-first-movie-of-lawrence/ http://wemadethisbaby.com/2007/12/09/what-is-crying-all-about-our-first-movie-of-lawrence/#comments Sun, 09 Dec 2007 00:49:12 +0000 Brandon http://wemadethisbaby.com/2007/12/09/what-is-crying-all-about-our-first-movie-of-lawrence/

Here is our baby crying. Pictures really don’t do crying justice, so it makes sense to show a video, right? His crying is a bit tough on the nerves, but now that I’ve heard a lot more of it over these past three weeks I’m getting more used to it.

Just For Fun,  I’ve put our soothing checklist. If none of these things work and you are a new parent then you are S.O.L.

  • It might be feeding time. 2-3 hours for the newborn.
  • The, the diaper change. While changing him, we look for any annoyances that might be causing the crying. I would suggest getting some butt paste for the kid. He likes that.
  • Put the kid in the sling. He really likes this.
  • Maybe try a pacifier?
  • You’re running out of luck now. Maybe we’ll try taking all the kid’s clothes off and laying him on my chest which works sometimes.
  • Now back to the sling. He’s probably getting tired from all the activity by now. Chances are you’re on your way to quiet for a few minutes, at least.
  • Where the hell are the grandparents?!!!
