Indigo had another rough start to the night last night. I think he had a stomach ache and just wouldn't settle down unless he was in our arms. Of course this was the first night I felt totally exhausted and really just wanted to sleep, and also was the night before Blue headed to the office. Great timing! Finally around 1:30am we changed him for like the third time (nothing there previously) and discovered a lovely present. And of course it was my turn for the diaper change. But luckily he settled down after that. Phew! He just seems to be very hit or miss with the burping, although we're getting better at coaxing it out of him. His sister is much the same way.
And now, how we're going to teach them the alphabet:

I'm also looking into baby stimulation products, like mobiles and high contrast books. I've read they can be very good for the early weeks when they can't really grasp/play yet. Anyone out there use this type of thing? We've tried showing Indigo black and white photos and he does seem quite fascinated by them.
Hmm, I don't recall doing anything stimulating like that with Dane, we did a whole lot of lying in bed with him propped up on our legs and us making funny faces at him, while we watched the 2010 Winter Olympics on the TV behind him. Guess that explains why he enjoyed the Summer Olympics this year so much ;-)
