what did we expect? two sensitive people having a baby--of course he's going to be sensitive!
with that being said, moses has been more sensitive this week than he's been in a long time. i thought it was just going to last a few days, but it's still happening. he's been unpredictably fussy (read: wildly moody, both ups and downs) and an ever-present, clingy (though cute) barnacle on the helen mothership. as i type, he is actually sitting on my foot rather than exploring and playing with toys. i find it both endearing and somewhat worrisome (worrisome, mostly because i worry about... well... everything). how long with this bout of clinginess last--days, weeks, months, years?!?
i have been trying to feel out what could be the problem, and i've narrowed it down to three possibilities: (1) teething, which could be the culprit for years (!) (2) a growth spurt (which usually doesn't make him cry, but i'm guessing he could be hungry at random non-meal times (?) or (3) shane started work this week, which means he's been gone for a good part of each day this week. i'm leaning toward 3 being the answer because mo's gums are smooth with no signs of additional teeth these days, and well, mo has been a tiny bit easier today, and shane's been home during the day today. i think babies might catch on to more than we think... well, some things quicker than others.
one thing that's taken about two months+ is that the balls of wool tumbleweed that shed off our area rug aren't good for eating.
