It's not that I like her crying, in fact her tears make me feel horrible and powerless at times. She's just so darn DRAMATIC! Really take a look at theses pictures. What is that devastating to draw this response? Her bottle not prepared to the correct temperature? Her crib sheeting has lost its downy freshness?
Maybe I take these pictures because I've survived her 5 months of colic?
Looking at these pictures reminds me just how far we've come. Anyone whose dealt with colic knows where I'm coming from. I should design a little ribbon pin for colic survivors. Maybe a ribbon with frayed edges? Tied in a really tight knot? Hey, I might be onto something here. This ribbon will save innocent bystanders from making stupid comments as you're wait in line, baby screaming as if she were on fire, so you can pay for the formula and get the hell outta there.
"Oh, she must be hungry." Don't say that.
"Poor little lamb." Don't emphasize with the demon.
"She must be hungry." Really, don't say that!
"Well someone is not happy." No shit sherlock.
"She must be hungry." Just. Don't. Say. That.
If you know someone who is currently going through colic, give them a hug.

omg I'm dying! rofl
I like taking pics of my kids crying when they are being overly dramatic too.
I *thankfully* never delt with colic. But I will make sure NEVER to say any of those things to someone when I see a crying baby in the store.
