At his 2-month checkup

Ewan weighs 12 pounds 4.5 ounces, measures 23.5 inches long and his head circumference is 15.5 inches. That means he is in the 58th percentile in weight and 63rd percentile in height.

What the doctor couldn't tell us is why Ewan cries so much, why he wakes after a 10-minute nap even though he is exhausted and generally what is wrong with our child! Ewan fights naps even and especially when overtired, goes through entire days with no naps, has nights when he screams for hours, and then - when we least expect it - will sleep for a long stretch. Last night was 8.5 hours, a personal best.

I'm looking for some answers and a cure! Anyone?

I'm crying just reading this post! I'll keep an eye out for anything helpful, Beth. In the meantime, I'd love to put him in the carrier--especially if he's crying!--and walk around your neighborhood so you can take a break!
