The 6 week growth spurt has arrived!

Dear 6 week growth spurt,

As my child turned 5 weeks yesterday, you made an entrance into our lives. You have now turned my sweet, cuddly and happy baby into a fussy, boob-sucking demon. Ok ok, I know, it's unfair and mean to call this little guy a demon:


But moments after this photo was taken, he started screaming. I'm grateful that I can instantly soothe him by nursing, but I'm not having the best time in the world feeding my baby every 30-45 minutes... A crying baby who can't focus on eating and CHOMPS on my nipple trying to figure out how to get milk out of there. My only hope is that the rumored hibernation babies experience after growing is true! Several resources say Oliver should sleep really well the next few days... We'll see. As for now, dear growth spurt, please do your job quickly, then get the hell out of here.

Sincerely,
Lindsay, John & Oliver
(& our neighbors who say they can't hear the crying baby but are probably lying).
