Not sure if you have experienced or heard of the "witching hour" for little babies. Basically, it is usually in the evening when none of the usual tricks work to soothe the kiddo and said kiddo cries and fusses til the parents think that it will never end. There are several posts (and another) by AskMoxie, one of my favorite online parenting links from the first time around with Carter. I desparately looked it up last night at 11.23 and promptly emailed it to sleeping Bill to let him know that we are not alone.
During Bill's turn, Owen suddenly got very quiet. I walked into our bedroom from the den to discover Bill's magic trick. Apparently, Bill wanted to brush his teeth and none of the above mentioned spots did the trick. However, our double bathroom sink (it's the clean one at least) did the trick tonight...
Readers, can you share any other strategies with us? We are open to (almost) anything...

well, he looks really cute in the sink! hope you have a better night tonight :)
He does look cute in the sink. Not sure about any tips. You know how Sawyer felt about his swing, he'd stay in there for the whole night, 8 hours straight when he was 10 weeks! Getting him out of it and into a bed was a little touchy though!
Sorry Owen is witching you guys! He looks so innocent.
Oh, that picture is so adorable! Love it!
