Joys and Horrors

In my short time parenting I've come to realize it is one cycle of ups and downs or joys and horrors.

Joys:
Smiles and giggles Colin makes
Seeing him bat at his toys for the first time
Colin concentrating on us so hard he crosses his eyes
Colin looking so serious and furrowing his brow or quivering his lips
Sleeping through the night 4 nights in a row-I mean 10-12 hours

Horrors:
Green poop appearance for 24 hours
Constant laundry from poop oozing (during the dreaded green poo stage)
Realizing he slept through the night and hoping everything is all right when I woke up in the morning
Gas pains for Colin--he gets really angry and fussy
Colin learning to use his hands as weapons (not sure if he know this or not, but they can inflict pain along with his little nails)

Gina-This is cute, and a good realization. It will continue throughout his life and change with each stage that he goes through. :D
