Love the Wubbanub

James and I agree - we will never brag about a calm, content baby on the blog again. Because obviously it triggers some unknown rule that braggart parents beget fussy babies!!

Mr. Grumpypants has kept us walking, bouncing, swaying, driving, strolling...basically moving the past few days.  He also decided to stage a quick nursing strike, although I think he's crossed the picket line now and is back on board with breastfeeding. Mama is a bit traumatized, but comforted by the fact that the thousands of books I've read say this is all somewhat common. And that newborn fussiness is a phase (thank goodness!!) 

During JB's fussy moments, I have developed a special appreciation for the Wubbanub.  Not familiar? It's a Soothie paci attached to a little animal.  It's genius.  As you see, our child approves:

It's comforting after a doctor's visit at 3 days old...

When Mama insists on a bath, again...

And during that witching hour when a little bouncer vibration and vigorous sucking do wonders to calm a fussy baby...

And, yes, I was that person who was somewhat anti-paci.  But it's a Wubbanub, so I am down with it. :)

Now, full disclosure, these are all older pics and prior to our fussy weekend.  It was just too hard to snag a pic with all the movement!  Plus, these are too cute not to share.  We love our Mr. Grumpypants!
