Henry gave Jared a genuine smile two nights ago. Apparently it was really cute. I missed it. Of course Henry doesn’t bother to show me, his source for food, life, and his constant guardian all day long, the cute smile. All I get from Henry are looks like this and fussiness all day long.

What started as nighttime colic has become an all day event. It’s a little rough. I had heard that at 6 weeks things were supposed to improve, but they’ve only seemed to take a terrible turn for the worse about a week ago. My only saving grace is that he sleeps okay at night. He even has 4 hour stretches sometimes! The worsening colic might have to do with the fact that he was premature. I’m only remembering a few times in the last week that he’s sat around happy, awake and complacent (sans binkie). Jared remembers one time that he got a smile out of it.

A smile would brighten my day. Pretty please, Henry?
