I think we have to face the fact. Our boy is a cry baby. No, really.
“What are you talking about?” I hear you say, “He looks so cheerful in the photos!”.
Well of course he does – I’m not exactly going to post lots of photos of him crying now, am I.
“But what about his laughing and the playing?”
Ok, I’ll give you that, but it’s only fair to say that I have yet to experience a day where he doesn’t cry for at least ten minutes. A lot of people have told me that crying is good for a baby’s lungs. Er….right. How good exactly do their lungs need to be?
He cries when he’s sleepy, he cries when he wakes, he cries because he’s hungry, he cries because he’s not hungry….we can’t win. I’m moaning, I know – but imagine how annoying it is when other parents tell you “my kid’s great! They sleep through the night, have their feed and never cry!”
Grrrr.
It’s got to be said that he does look quite cute when crying. He tends to stick his bottom lip out about a minute before he is about to cry – it looks so adorable. We laugh whenever we see it, and it often ends up distracting him, that he actually forgets to cry. He’s probably thinking “What’s so funny? I’m about to bawl my eyes out…..and you’re laughing at me?!”
