Mom took today off and both she and Laurie came over early to help me. We spent some time playing outside, and Jeanne sported a new hat.
The first pic is of Loki in a new hat he received as a gift.

Colic (also known as infant colic, three month colic, and Infantile colic) is a condition in which an otherwise healthy baby cries or screams frequently and, for extended periods, without any discernible reason. The condition typically appears within the first two weeks of life and almost invariably disappears, often very suddenly, before the baby is three to four months old, but can last up to 12 months of life.[1] One study concludes that the chances of having colic is lower in breastfed babies.[2]
The crying often increases during a specific period of the day, particularly the early evening.
The medical definition of colic is a condition of a healthy baby in which it shows periods of intense, unexplained fussing/crying lasting more than 3 hours a day, more than 3 days a week for more than 3 weeks.[3] However, many doctors consider that definition, first described by Morris Wessel, to be overly narrow and would consider babies with sudden, severe, unexplained crying lasting less than 3 hours/day as having "colic".
Loki is a colicy baby. The evening hours (6-10pm) really hurt around here
