Cap'n Molly and Sleepless Jake

Kate has taken to calling Molly "the pirate" because she peers up at Kate with one eye closed and says, "Aaaaarrrgh".

Both kids ate well today but we ran into our first struggles with putting them down. After one feed this afternoon, we spent the next 2 hours trying to get Jacob to sleep. We ran through about 100 theories: maybe he doesn't like the window open, maybe it's too dark, now maybe it's too bright, maybe he doesn't want to be swaddled, maybe he needs to be swaddled more tightly, etc. Eventually, after 2 hours we fed him and he ate like a horse. During his third slurp he glanced at me with a somewhat disgusted look which said, "Hey Mr. Smart Guy, I'm 10 days old, I only do two things - I sleep and I eat. If I'm not sleeping, guess what I need." Next time we'll consider the fact that he might be hungry.
