In the Beginning

When Christian was born he was, of course, the cutest baby I'd ever seen. He was such a good baby. He ate, slept, and only fussed a bit. This was in sharp contrast to my children. My son had colic from day 1 that lasted for months. We adopted my daughter when she was 8 months old. Before she came to us we were told she slept all night, but from the first day she arrived home  she didn't sleep all night for a year.
I thought Christian was the perfect baby .....until colic set in. Lordy, that child could scream and cry and scream and cry for 6 solid hours. We walked, rocked, patted, soothed, and finally drove around over and over and over until the early morning hours.
