So what kind of 2-month old doesn't calm down in the car? Our kind. He's gone on two car rides today. The first one it took him about 20 minutes to calm down. The second one he was happy and smiling as I put him in the car seat, after 10 minutes (on my way back from Blockbuster returning Dan in Real Life and Into the Wild), he cried his poor little eyes out.
Our usual trick is to bounce him while holding him in a sling, which is convenient because it frees my hands up to type this.
Here are some updated pics. We had a pediatric appointment on Friday, and Em is 101/2 pounds! So he's put on almost 4 pounds which, and I really have no frame of reference but, I think is a good thing. And he's outgrowing some of his newborn clothes already. Doc says we can expect about another month of The Fuss though. Yay.

I started this blog 6 hours ago. It is now 9:20 and he finally went down for the night. I so look forward to the day when I don't put him in his crib, slink away, and then have a desire to celebrate when I don't immediately hear him start to fuss.

If you can just get him to the point where grenades, machine guns, and mortar fire put him at ease...
I feel your pain buddy. Gillian is sleeping with us now, and has been sleeping pretty good these last couple of nights. Her reflux can get pretty bad some nights, and that really, really sucks.
Something in Paul Riser's book, Babyhood, often came to mind when our kids were in their first few months. He noted that we make such a big deal about having babies--the whole pregnancy thing, baby showers, nursery prep, etc.-- but once they finally arrive, we spend all of our time trying to get them to sleep. So true!
Ha! I am going to have to go get that book, because that right there is true.
Congrat's Mojo. My wife and I are thinking about kids and I'm starting to pay more and more attention to things like this. Keep us posted.
