once upon a time...

Just to let everyone know....
This is what the first 4-5 months of Brooklyn's life looked like (to get the full effect, scratch your nails on a chalkboard at the same time as looking at this picture! lol Then multiply that noise x10. THEN that might sound close to what her scream was):



It wasn't always smiley and happy She is nowdays...but we had to hang in there, thru weeks and weeks of this face and lots of screaming!!
Just for all those mommies that are just starting the whole colic drama...there is light at the end up of the tunnel..and i know where you're coming from!!!

I refused to take pictures of Abby at that time... other people did, but I didn't. I totally DID NOT want to remember that!! LOL Abby has a bib that says adorable. I wouldn't put it on her up until about a month and a half ago!!!!

Yah... i cringe.
I have this video of the PEAK of Brookies colic....She is laying in the middle of the floor screaming bloody murder...while Mya is about 3 feet away from her kicking her feet laying on the ground screaming...throwing a tantrum. And my hubby is just sitting on the floor in between both of them looking like he wants to go jump off a cliff....and i have running commentary on it saying "yes....this is a day in the life of our family...."
Its funny to look back on now, but BOY it was rough at the time!!!!
I have TONS of pics of her crying like that.
But i was also great at getting the ONE smile out of a whole day of screaming.....on camera.
So from most of my pics, you would never know she was colicky. I just timed it really well

Lord I tried so hard to forget that I didn't want much of it on film isn't that horrible?? I'm kind of glad we didn't have a video camera.
