We spent the new year's weekend getting to know our neighbors better. The neighbor's to the right invited us to a party on New Year's Eve. We were excited to go, but Calvin almost had other plans.
He's going through a very fussy phase. Some days are great, but some days...non-stop crying, nursing every hour or two, more crying. Nothing will calm him, but vigorous swing/bouncing and the pacifier that falls out of his mouth every 10 minutes. Of course NYE was a day like that. He wouldn't go to sleep so we could leave him at home and he wouldn't stop crying so we couldn't take him. Plus, I only had a few hours sleep the night before and wasn't up for going myself. After a luxurious 3 hour mommy nap, i got us ready for the commute next door. He finally stopped crying at 11:30 and we got to ring in the new year with new friends. Calvin was decked out in his tuxedo onsie, but unfortunately no one saw anything, but the top of his head. I had to wear him to keep him calm.
The wrap is magic. He was so in his happy place he slept in 2 4 hour stretches. Thank you, baby.
The neighbor on the left invited us over for lunch on New Year's Day's. So after a family walk, I got Calvin dressed in his cute winter monkey outfit and we carried him next door. He started to get a little fussy, so we had to swaddle him. Again, no one got to see how cute he was dressed. Oh well.
It was good to spend the beginning of the year with some new friends and one of my resolutions is to spend more time with old ones. His fussy stage can't last forever. I will be able to leave the house again some day.
