Our baby wants to be held all of the time.  In addition, to holding him he often wants to be jiggled.  If we don’t do these things he fuses and cries.  It is almost impossible to get anything done when I am holding baby all of the time.  Furthermore, my back is getting sore from holding him all of the time.  He is getting heavy too.  He weighs 10lbs 10oz.  As those of us Scandinavian Americans say, “Uff dah!” 

Nothing seems to be able to replace human touch: not the swing, a warm crib with a fuzzy blanket, or a car ride. Of course, it is natural that he wants human touch.  He wants to be loved and cared for by his parents.  This gives him a sense of security.  I like to love him and hold him, but my back doesn’t always feel the love.  Right now my back is feeling pretty sore.  I am hoping that either my back gets stronger, or that baby won’t want to be held as much.  I am considering lifting weights.
