It's a good thing baby Doodle is so cute

Yesterday was one of the worst days I've had with baby Doodle since he was 3 weeks old. He cried and cried and screamed and acted like I was tearing off his limbs one by one. He acted like this for most of the day whether I was hold him or not. I think it may have been the lack of sleep. He slept through the night the night before but his "naps" during the day lasted no more than 15 minutes. He didn't feel feverish, and I don't think he's teething yet, though he does drool a lot, pull on his ears from time to time, and chew on his fingers and anything else he can get his hands on.

Yesterday was also the first day Mr. Doodlebug had to work late at his new job. I took baby Doodle to my knitting circle where I didn't knit, but hung out with a fellow knitter and friend. Mr. D met us at the coffee shop at 8:30pm. It was a very very very long day.

Luckily, Mr. D was on baby duty last night. Unlucky for him baby Doodle woke up twice because he had rolled over and his arm was sticking out from between the slats on his crib. I guess he didn't find that position comfortable. Baby Doodle then slept until 7:00 this morning. So I got a good amount of sleep last night. I hope BD takes at least one long nap today. It is difficult to get much done when you have a screaming baby in your arms who screams even louder when you try to put him down.
