Unfortunately, our sweet little baby Carter is Colicky. A major case of Colic. This means that he screams and crys for Hours and Hours. We have come to consider normal crying and general unhappiness, as 'Fussy', and screaming like we are stabbing him through the eyes, as 'Episodes', Colic Episodes. He really finds his groove about 7 - 9PM and keeps going until about 5 - 7AM every night. Carter is a handful to say the least. We are still trying to come to grips with how we can comfort him when he is colicky. It is pretty out of hand. I like to refer to our experience so far as "Being Slowly Pecked to Death by a Duck!"
