I have been so impressed with Silas through all this. Not only has he been so patient with her crying, he tries to comfort her, and also tries to include her in his games. I caught a few pictures of Silas playing with her on the infant play mat this morning. He barely fits, but squeezed in right next to her. I thought at first that he just wanted to lay on it, but he insisted that Daphne be on the play mat too. It was adorable, he was pretending they were on a train with Silas as the conductor and Daphne as the passenger.
Steve has been off work the last month which has been great. It will be interesting to see how things go next week when he's back to work. Hopefully the elimination of soy will help Daphne, and with her getting close to 8 weeks she will start to be less fussy. She is having more periods of being calm and awake which is encouraging. I think the biggest problem is that she fights sleeping so much, then starts crying and getting upset because she's tired. I'm not sure how to fix that besides to keep giving her opportunity and help to soothe her and hopefully sleep.
