SoDev,
At the moment Aaron's impossible. He cries all day long and I'm home alone and I just can't do my assignments for school. As soon as I sit down by my computer...he starts crying. He falls asleep and I think : Yes, now I will be able to get to work! And then 5 mins later he starts over again.
Yep! I did much of my reading with my son in the Baby Bjorn or in the sling. It was the only way he would stay quiet while I studied. If I was lucky, I could put him in the baby bouncer seat and bounce the seat with my foot. That could give me fifteen minutes. Or sometimes I would do a combo - put him in baby bjorn, take him to the kitchen, turn on the kitchen vent, then study.
Once he got past his colic stage, it got so much better. A bit of puke was nothing compared to the constant crying!
