aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

when i was younger i remember babysitting a little boy that was a screamer. i about lost my mind, and ever since then i would always say, "i will never have a screamer". i remember even telling quinn when we were talking about having kids, "he just better not be a screamer." well....that's what i get for saying never. jayden screams when he's sad, he screams when he's mad, and he even screams when he's happy. it doesn't bother quinn and he says to just ignore it, but i don't know if i can take it anymore. i swear one of these days i'm going to crack. it's a good thing he's cute. any advice out there?

my advice to you: have another kid as soon as possible. not sure how that would help, but i have this unrelenting feeling that it would solve all your problems.

SEND HIM TO GRANDMA'S ASAP!

hil, that could quite possibly be the worst piece of advice you've ever given me. and you've given me some doosies. ;)

I've always thought that Hilary gave terrible advice!! You can never trust those unrelenting feelings of hers. I'd say Karen's advice is much much better - send him to Grandma's...and can I come too?!!

If it makes you feel better Lexi, Tyler is going through the same thing. It drives me crazy! I'm guessing that it's a phase, although I've seen other kids grow accustomed to it when it hasn't been nipped in the bud. I'm looking for good advice as well. Can I send Tyler to Karen's too?

hmmm, good luck with that. i've also heard that he now likes to bonk himself in the head with every egg he finds. ugh, we're terrible people.

he's so you that something is probably bothering him is my guess. My little sisters baby had the same problem. Was he early? His bowls could be a little out of wack and he might just have to grow out of it. or acid reflux? does he throw up a lot?
Erika's baby was 5 weeks early and even though she was 7 1/2 lbs the doctor said she probably has irritable bowels. He said to giver her benedryl because it helps with the inflamation they might have going on. it did wonders. good luck

not you, young :)

sherstine, it's jayden that's the screamer, not baby owen. i don't think owen could get any quieter. he's a perfect baby like jayden was. let's hope this is just a phase with j-dogg...a short phase.

I'm retarded.

Quinn, Alexis, Jayden, and Owen Brown said...

I agree Hil that is a great idea! Oh and SherstIne too! Let's give the boy benedryl I here that knocks um out ;)

that was quinn who made that last comment. i still think hil's advice stinks.

Lexi, was that kid you babysat Spencer? Probably, actually, I know just what it is. All kids, at least all of mine, screamed when they were 18 months to 2 1/2 years because they so want to talk and express themselves and can't fully, so they scream instead. It sucks, but I promise you, it will go away as soon as he finds all his words. Dag is the exact same way, but I think a lot of his has to do with being in an orphanage for two years; there, the kid that screamed the loudest got all the attention, cuz who wants to listen to that. Ugg! some days I think I might just kill him. You're a great mom and I really miss you guys. I need to hold Owen bad and we would take Jayden in a heart beat. Love your guts!

Karen said...

you better! we will totally come!!! Also, do you have any of my baby clothes? I can't remember. If you do that's fine because your boy will need them before mine:) just wondering

the mortensen's said...

that was actually me. I was on my moms comput

Karen Brown said...

I can't quit looking at these cute KIDS! When are you coming home??? HURRY!
