We have been 'blessed' with a slightly (ahem) fussy baby. He just really likes to be held, a lot. In very particular positions. While moving.
This can be just a tad exhausting.
And some days it's easy to be grumpy.

Finding almond bites after having to go dairy free.
Napping.
Having older children who like to help, even with a fussy brother, and who love him very dearly.
Enjoying the 3 minutes of calm and peace we get a day.
Finally installing a window unit AC in our bedroom and sleeping in cold comfort during those very sticky evenings.
Drinking wine.mmmmm wine.

Traditions. (My husbands band, Boots N Shorts, playing their 4th year at the Bluegrass Ramble Picnic)

I couldn't feel more sorry for you on the fussy and dairy free hon!!! It is a rough place to be!!
If you need anything, I am always here for you!!

You gotta have milkshakes or something, cause he is just the cutest chubby little thing! ;) Love the pictures. Jesse had to be held for the first 4 months of her life. They do eventually get mobile on their own.
