She really is, and I didn't even have to use much of the information in the book. I was just telling a friend yesterday that I have no place giving any mother of a colicky baby advice since I had it so easy when Sweet Pea was a newborn. I don't take any credit for this, I think I just got really lucky. I don't think that I have any magic mothering skills (besides being a firm believer in attachment parenting). I think that some babies are just easier than others.
Not to say that every day is nothing but roses and sunshine. Yesterday we attempted to go out to dinner downtown with my parents. She did not want to be in the car seat and cried the whole way there. By the time we got downtown, we were all so frazzled by her crying, and the shortage of parking, we just turned around and headed home. By then she was screaming - face bright red, tears streaming down her face, fists clenched screaming. She was pissed. We stopped twice for a little comfort nursing only for her to continue where she left off as soon as she was placed back in the car seat. I was so stressed out from hearing her cry that I was on the verge of tears. We got home and ordered a pizza. Sweet Pea instantly transformed from frantic, screaming baby to smiling, cooing baby. She just looked up at me and laughed as if to say, "Silly Mama, I told you this is where I like to be!"
