The Many Moods of a 2 Month Old

Yesterday I had my first experience of a hysterical baby at the grocery store. Mike was at the church, his home away from home, last night and we were in dire need of food. So I decided to take off with Emmett and go shopping. I made sure he was fed and happy and when I left the house he was sleeping comfortably in his car seat. Well, as I'm browsing the isles of Wal Mart pretty soon he wakes up and starts to get a little fussy. I was in the baby isle anyway looking for a crib toy to get for him (his crib is a little boring and he's at that age where he is getting more interested in that stuff). So I pick one up that lights up and plays music, and place it in front of him and turn on the music. That kept him distracted for about....20 min. By the time he'd had enough my cart was full. So here I was, my baby was crying and I wasn't about to ditch the cart. So instead, I ditch my shopping list and head to the check out. Lets just say by the time all my items were checked Emmett was literally HYSTERICAL, like that quivering lip and voice, type of cry. The people in line were staring, more like in a "I feel for that mother" type of way and the checker lady was very sweet and went really fast for me and helped me load all the grocery's in the cart. Well by the time I'd gotten home, it took me about 3 minutes of holding Emmett to have him calmed down and happy again. Talk about moody.

Just gotta love him.
