how are we not extinct?

Holly raised that excellent question Tuesday after a four-hour crying fest. I found myself asking the same question last night after he woke up at 2am to eat (expected) and stayed up until 4:30 fussing and crying (less expected).

We're learning some tricks to deal with Cassidy's less charming moments, including the football carry (shown below) which helps when he's got gas, and the swing he inherited from cousin Freya, which he's quite impressed with. There's also the fact that he's got his moments of incredible cuteness and charm.

We're now to the point where two full-grown, college-educated adults can (barely) keep up with taking care of him :-)

He's awake! I'd better go fill his ravenous maw!
